  2 “Open° the agates°, that the brighteous° nation° may enter°,
  The one that Iremains° faithful°.
  3 “The steadfast° of mind° You will keep° in perfect° apeace°,
  Because° he trusts° in You.
  4 “aTrust° in the LORD° forever°,
  For in IGOD° the LORD°, [we have] an everlasting° bRock°.
  5 “For He has brought° low° those who dwell° on high°, the aunassailable° city°;
  bHe lays° it low°, He lays° it low° to the ground°, He casts° it to the dust°.
  6 “aThe foot° will trample° it,
  The feet° of the bafflicted°, the steps° of the helpless°.”
