Isaiah 26

Song of Trust in God’s Protection

26IN THAT day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah: We have a strong city; [the Lord] sets up salvation as walls and bulwarks.H3117H7892H7891H776H3063H5797H5892H3444H7896H2346H24262Open the gates, that the [uncompromisingly] righteous nation which keeps her faith {and} her troth [with God] may enter in.H6605H8179H6662H1471H8104H529H9353You will guard him {and} keep him in perfect {and} constant peace whose mind [both its inclination and its character] is stayed on You, because he commits himself to You, leans on You, {and} hopes confidently in You.H5341H7965H7965H3336H5564H9824So trust in the Lord (commit yourself to Him, lean on Him, hope confidently in Him) forever; for the Lord God is an everlasting Rock [the Rock of Ages].H982H3068H5703H3050H3068H5769H66975For He has brought down the inhabitants of the height, the lofty city; He lays it low, lays it low to the ground; He brings it even to the dust.H7817H3427H4791H7682H7151H8213H8213H776H5060H60836The foot has trampled it down--even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy.H7272H7429H7272H6041H6471H18007The way of the [consistently] righteous (those living in moral and spiritual rectitude in every area and relationship of their lives) is level {and} straight; You, O [Lord], Who are upright, direct aright {and} make level the path of the [uncompromisingly] just {and} righteous.H734H6662H4339H3477H6424H4570H66628Yes, in the path of Your judgments, O Lord, we wait [expectantly] for You; our heartfelt desire is for Your name and for the remembrance of You.H734H4941H3068H6960H8378H5315H8034H21439My soul yearns for You [O Lord] in the night, yes, my spirit within me seeks You earnestly; for [only] when Your judgments are in the earth will the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness (uprightness and right standing with God).H5315H183H3915H7307H7130H7836H4941H776H3427H8398H3925H666410Though favor is shown to the wicked, yet they do not learn righteousness; in the land of uprightness they deal perversely and refuse to see the majesty of the Lord.H2603H7563H1077H3925H6664H776H5229H5765H1077H7200H1348H306811Though Your hand is lifted high to strike, Lord, they do not see it. Let them see Your zeal for Your people and be ashamed; yes, let the fire reserved for Your enemies consume them.H3068H3027H7311H2372H2372H954H7068H5971H784H6862H39812Lord, You will ordain peace (God's favor and blessings, both temporal and spiritual) for us, for You have also wrought in us {and} for us all our works.H3068H8239H7965H6466H463913O Lord, our God, other masters besides You have ruled over us, but we will acknowledge {and} mention Your name only.H3068H430H113H2108H1166H2142H803414They [the former tyrant masters] are dead, they shall not live {and} reappear; they are powerless ghosts, they shall not rise {and} come back. Therefore You have visited and made an end of them and caused every memory of them [every trace of their supremacy] to perish.H4191H2421H7496H6965H6485H8045H2143H615You have increased the nation, O Lord; You have increased the nation. You are glorified; You have enlarged all the borders of the land.H3254H1471H3068H3254H1471H3513H7368H7099H77616Lord, when they were in trouble {and} distress, they sought {and} visited You; they poured out a prayerful whisper when Your chastening was upon them.H3068H6862H6485H6694H3908H414817As a woman with child drawing near the time of her delivery is in pain {and} writhes and cries out in her pangs, so we have been before You (at Your presence), O Lord.H3644H2030H7126H3205H2342H2199H2256H6440H306818We have been with child, we have been writhing {and} in pain; we have, as it were, brought forth [only] wind. We have not wrought any deliverance in the earth, and the inhabitants of the world [of Israel] have not yet been born.H2029H2342H3644H3205H7307H6213H3444H776H1077H3427H8398H530719Your dead shall live [O Lord]; the bodies of our dead [saints] shall rise. You who dwell in the dust, awake and sing for joy! For Your dew [O Lord] is a dew of [sparkling] light [heavenly, supernatural dew]; and the earth shall cast forth the dead [to life again; for on the land of the shades of the dead You will let Your dew fall].H4191H2421H5038H6965H6974H7442H7931H6083H2919H2919H219H776H5307H749620Come, my people, enter your chambers and shut your doors behind you; hide yourselves for a little while until the [Lord's] wrath is past.H3212H5971H935H2315H5462H1817H2247H4592H7281H2195H567421For behold, the Lord is coming out of His place [heaven] to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity; the earth also will disclose the blood shed upon her and will no longer cover her slain {and} conceal her guilt.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.
