Isaiah 26

God Will Give His People Victory

26A day is coming when the people will sing this song in the land of Judah: Our city is strong! God himself defends its walls!H3117H7892H7891H776H3063H5797H5892H3444H7896H2346H24262Open the city gates and let the faithful nation enter, the nation whose people do what is right.H6605H8179H6662H1471H8104H529H9353You, LORD, give perfect peace to those who keep their purpose firm and put their trust in you.H5341H7965H7965H3336H5564H9824Trust in the LORD forever; he will always protect us.H982H3068H5703H3050H3068H5769H66975He has humbled those who were proud; he destroyed the strong city they lived in, and sent its walls crashing into the dust.H7817H3427H4791H7682H7151H8213H8213H776H5060H60836Those who were oppressed walk over it now and trample it under their feet.H7272H7429H7272H6041H6471H18007LORD, you make the path smooth for good people; the road they travel is level.H734H6662H4339H3477H6424H4570H66628We follow your will and put our hope in you; you are all that we desire.H734H4941H3068H6960H8378H5315H8034H21439At night I long for you with all my heart; when you judge the earth and its people, they will all learn what justice is.H5315H183H3915H7307H7130H7836H4941H776H3427H8398H3925H666410Even though you are kind to the wicked, they never learn to do what is right. Even here in a land of righteous people they still do wrong; they refuse to recognize your greatness.H2603H7563H1077H3925H6664H776H5229H5765H1077H7200H1348H306811Your enemies do not know that you will punish them. LORD, put them to shame and let them suffer; let them suffer the punishment you have prepared. Show them how much you love your people.H3068H3027H7311H2372H2372H954H7068H5971H784H6862H39812You will give us prosperity, LORD; everything that we achieve is the result of what you do.H3068H8239H7965H6466H463913LORD our God, we have been ruled by others, but you alone are our LORD.H3068H430H113H2108H1166H2142H803414Now they are dead and will not live again; their ghosts will not rise, for you have punished them and destroyed them. No one remembers them any more.H4191H2421H7496H6965H6485H8045H2143H615LORD, you have made our nation grow, enlarging its territory on every side; and this has brought you honor.H3254H1471H3068H3254H1471H3513H7368H7099H77616You punished your people, LORD, and in anguish they prayed to you.H3068H6862H6485H6694H3908H414817You, LORD, have made us cry out, as a woman in labor cries out in pain.H3644H2030H7126H3205H2342H2199H2256H6440H306818We were in pain and agony, but we gave birth to nothing. We have won no victory for our land; we have accomplished nothing.H2029H2342H3644H3205H7307H6213H3444H776H1077H3427H8398H530719Those of our people who have died will live again! Their bodies will come back to life. All those sleeping in their graves will wake up and sing for joy. As the sparkling dew refreshes the earth, so the LORD will revive those who have long been dead.H4191H2421H5038H6965H6974H7442H7931H6083H2919H2919H219H776H5307H7496

Judgment and Restoration

20Go into your houses, my people, and shut the door behind you. Hide yourselves for a little while until God's anger is over.H3212H5971H935H2315H5462H1817H2247H4592H7281H2195H567421The LORD is coming from his heavenly dwelling place to punish the people of the earth for their sins. The murders that were secretly committed on the earth will be revealed, and the ground will no longer hide those who have been killed.H3068H3318H4725H6485H3427H776H5771H776H1540H1818H3680H2026

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
