Isaiah 26 Song of Salvation | Take Refuge from the Coming Judgment
Isaiah 26:1-19 Song of Salvation
Isaiah 26:20-21 Take Refuge from the Coming Judgment
Isaiah 26:1-6
1 In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah:
“We have a strong city;
God will appoint salvation for walls and bulwarks.
2
Open the gates,
That the righteous nation which keeps the truth (remains faithful) may enter in.
3
You will keep him in perfect peace,
Whose mind is stayed on You,
Because he trusts in You.
4
Trust in the Lord forever,
For in Yah, the Lord, is everlasting strength (Rock of Ages).
5
For He brings down those who dwell on high,
The lofty city;
He lays it low,
He lays it low to the ground,
He brings it down to the dust.
6
The foot shall tread it down—
The feet of the poor
And the steps of the needy.”
Isaiah 26:7-9
7
The way of the just is uprightness;
O Most Upright,
You weigh the path of the just.
8
Yes, in the way of Your judgments,
O Lord, we have waited for You;
The desire of our soul is for Your name
And for the remembrance of You.
9
With 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.
Isaiah 26:12-15
12
Lord, You will establish peace for us,
For You have also done all our works [g]in us.
13
O Lord our God, masters besides You
Have had dominion over us;
But by You only we make mention of Your name.
14
They 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 perish.
15
You have increased the nation, O Lord,
You have increased the nation;
You are glorified;
You have expanded all the borders of the land.
