From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Open ye the gates -This is probably the language of a chorus responding to the sentiment inIsaiah 26:1. The captive people are returning; and this cry is made that the gates of the city may be thrown open, and that they may be permitted to enter without obstruction (comparePsalms 24:7,Psalms 24:9;Psalms 118:19). That the righteous nation which keepeth the truth -Who, during their long captivity and contact with pagan nations, have not apostatized from the true religion, but have adhered firmly to the worship of the true God.
