Isaiah 26
1¶ In that day they shall sing this song in the land of Judah; We have a strong city; God has appointed saving health for walls and bulwarks.
2Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keeps the truth may enter in.
3Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusts in thee.
4Trust ye in the Lord for ever: for in JAH, the Lord is the strength of the ages:
5¶ For he has brought down those that dwelt on high; he has humbled the lofty city; he humbled her, even to the ground; he brought her down even to the dust.
6The foot shall tread her down, even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy.
7The way of the just is uprightness: thou, most upright, dost weigh the path of the just.
8Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O Lord, we wait for thee; the desire of our soul is to thy name and to the remembrance of thee.
9With my soul I desire thee in the night; yea, even as long as the spirit is within me I will seek thee early: for as long as thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
10Let favour be showed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness he will deal unjustly and will not behold the majesty of the Lord.
11LORD, when thy hand is withdrawn, they will not see: but they shall see in the end and be ashamed with the zeal of the people. And fire shall consume thine enemies.
12¶ Lord, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought in us all our works.
13O Lord our God, other lords have had dominion over us without thee: but in thee only will we remember thy name.
14 They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise because thou hast visited and destroyed them and made all their memory to perish.
15Thou hast added the Gentiles, O Lord, thou hast added the Gentiles: thou hast made thyself glorious: thou hast extended thyself unto all the ends of the earth.
16Lord, in the tribulation they have sought thee, they poured out prayer when thy chastening was upon them.
17Like as a woman with child, that draws near the time of her delivery, is in pain, and cries out in her pangs; so have we been in thy sight, O Lord.
18We have conceived, we have had birth pangs; we have, as it were, brought forth wind; we have not wrought any health in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.
19Thy dead shall live, and together with my body they shall arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the covering of light, and the earth shall cast out the dead.
20¶ Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself, as it were, for a little moment until the indignation is overpast.
21For, behold, the Lord comes out of his place to visit the iniquity of the inhabitant of the earth against himself: the earth also shall disclose her blood and shall no longer cover her slain.

A Song of Salvation
1In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah:
We have a strong city;
salvation is established as its walls and ramparts.
2Open the gates so a righteous nation may enter—
one that remains faithful.
3You will keep in perfect peace the steadfast of mind,
because he trusts in You.
4Trust in the Lord forever,
because GOD the Lord is the Rock eternal.
5For He has humbled those who dwell on high;
He lays the lofty city low.
He brings it down to the ground;
He casts it into the dust.
6Feet trample it down—
the feet of the oppressed,
the steps of the poor.
7The path of the righteous is level;
You clear a straight path for the upright.
8Yes, we wait for You, O Lord;
we walk in the path of Your judgments.
Your name and renown
are the desire of our souls.
9My soul longs for You in the night;
indeed, my spirit seeks You at dawn.#26:9 Or my spirit within me seeks You.
For when Your judgments come upon the earth,
the people of the world learn righteousness.
10Though grace is shown to the wicked man,
he does not learn righteousness.
In the land of righteousness he acts unjustly
and fails to see the majesty of the Lord.
11O Lord, Your hand is upraised,
but they do not see it.
They will see Your zeal for Your people
and be put to shame.
The fire set for Your enemies
will consume them!
12O Lord, You will establish peace for us.
For all that we have accomplished,
You have done for us.
13O Lord our God, other lords besides You have had dominion,
but Your name alone do we confess.
14The dead will not live;
the departed spirits will not rise.
Therefore You have punished and destroyed them;
You have wiped out all memory of them.
15You have enlarged the nation, O Lord;
You have enlarged the nation.
You have gained glory for Yourself;
You have extended all the borders of the land.
16O Lord, they sought You in their distress;
when You disciplined them, they poured out a quiet prayer.
17As a woman with child about to give birth
writhes and cries out in pain,
so were we in Your presence, O Lord.
18We were with child; we writhed in pain;
but we gave birth to wind.
We have given no salvation to the earth,
nor brought any life into the world.
19Your dead will live; their bodies will rise.
Awake and sing, you who dwell in the dust!
For your dew is like the dew of the morning,
and the earth will bring forth her dead.
20Go, my people, enter your rooms
and shut your doors behind you.
Hide yourselves a little while
until the wrath has passed.
21For behold, the Lord is coming out of His dwelling
to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity.
The earth will reveal her bloodshed
and will no longer conceal her slain.
