Isaiah 26:3-9 (NEB):

Thou dost keep in peace men of constant mind,
in peace because they trust in thee.
Trust in the Lord for ever;
for the Lord himself is an everlasting rock.
He has brought low all who dwell high in a towering city;
he levels it to the ground and lays it in the dust,
that the oppressed and the poor may tread it underfoot.
The path of the righteous is level,
and thou markest out the right way for the upright.
We too look to the path prescribed in thy laws, O Lord;
thy name and thy memory are our heart's desire.
With all my heart I long for thee in the night,
I seek thee eagerly when dawn breaks;
for, when they laws prevail in the land,
the inhabitants of the world learn justice.
