Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

MSG ^(1-6)At that time, this song
  will be sung in the country of Judah:
We have a strong city, Salvation City,
  built and fortified with salvation.
Throw wide the gates
  so good and true people can enter.
People with their minds set on you,
  you keep completely whole,
Steady on their feet,
  because they keep at it and don’t quit.
Depend on God and keep at it
  because in the Lord God you have a sure thing.
Those who lived high and mighty
  he knocked off their high horse.
He used the city built on the hill
  as fill for the marshes.
All the exploited and outcast peoples
  build their lives on the reclaimed land.
