You, LORD, give perfect peace to those who keep their purpose

firm and put their trust in you.

Trust in the LORD forever; he will always protect us.

He has humbled those who were proud;

he destroyed the strong city they lived in,

And sent its walls crashing into the dust.

Those who were oppressed walk over it now and trample

it under their feet.

LORD, you make the path smooth for good men;

the road they travel is level.

We follow your will and put our hope in you;

you are all that we desire.

At night I long for you with all my heart;

when you judge the earth and its people, they will all learn what justice is.

Isaiah 26:3-9
