Isaiah 26

26
A Song of Salvation
1In #Is. 2:11; 12:1that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah:
“We have a strong city;
#Is. 60:18God will appoint salvation for walls and bulwarks.
2#Ps. 118:19, 20Open the gates,
That the righteous nation which keeps the truth may enter in.
3You will keep him in perfect #Is. 57:19; (Phil. 4:6, 7)peace,
Whose mind is stayed on You,
Because he trusts in You.
4Trust in the Lord forever,
#Is. 12:2; 45:17For in YAH, the Lord, is everlasting strength.
5For He brings down those who dwell on high,
#Is. 25:11, 12The lofty city;
He lays it low,
He lays it low to the ground,
He brings it down to the dust.
6The foot shall tread it down—
The feet of the poor
And the steps of the needy.”
7The way of the just is uprightness;
#Ps. 37:23O Most Upright,
You weigh the path of the just.
8Yes, #Is. 64:5in the way of Your judgments,
O Lord, we have #Is. 25:9; 33:2waited for You;
The desire of our soul is for Your name
And for the remembrance of You.
9#Ps. 63:6; Song 3:1; Is. 50:10; Luke 6:12With my soul I have desired You in the night,
Yes, by my spirit within me I will seek You early;
For when Your judgments are in the earth,
The inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.
10#Eccl. 8:12; (Rom. 2:4)Let grace be shown to the wicked,
Yet he will not learn righteousness;
In #Ps. 143:10the land of uprightness he will deal unjustly,
And will not behold the majesty of the Lord.
11Lord, when Your hand is lifted up, #Job 34:27; Ps. 28:5; Is. 5:12they will not see.
But they will see and be ashamed
For their envy of people;
Yes, the fire of Your enemies shall devour them.
12Lord, You will establish peace for us,
For You have also done all our works in us.
13O Lord our God, #2 Chr. 12:8masters besides You
Have had dominion over us;
But by You only we make mention of Your name.
14They are dead, they will not live;
They are deceased, they will not rise.
Therefore You have punished and destroyed them,
And made all their memory to #Eccl. 9:5; Is. 14:22perish.
15You have increased the nation, O Lord,
You have #Is. 9:3increased the nation;
You are glorified;
You have expanded all the borders of the land.
16Lord, #Is. 37:3; Hos. 5:15in trouble they have visited You,
They poured out a prayer when Your chastening was upon them.
17As #Is. 13:8; (John 16:21)a woman with child
Is in pain and cries out in her pangs,
When she draws near the time of her delivery,
So have we been in Your sight, O Lord.
18We have been with child, we have been in pain;
We have, as it were, brought forth wind;
We have not accomplished any deliverance in the earth,
Nor have #Ps. 17:14the inhabitants of the world fallen.
19#Is. 25:8; (Ezek. 37:1–14)Your dead shall live;
Together with my dead body they shall arise.
#(Dan. 12:2); Hos. 13:14Awake and sing, you who dwell in dust;
For your dew is like the dew of herbs,
And the earth shall cast out the dead.
Take Refuge from the Coming Judgment
20Come, my people, #Ex. 12:22, 23; (Ps. 91:1, 4)enter your chambers,
And shut your doors behind you;
Hide yourself, as it were, #(Ps. 30:5; Is. 54:7, 8; 2 Cor. 4:17)for a little moment,
Until the indignation is past.
21For behold, the Lord #Mic. 1:3; (Jude 14)comes out of His place
To punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity;
The earth will also disclose her blood,
And will no more cover her slain.
