Yeshayah 26
26
1In that day shall this shir (song) be sung in Eretz Yehudah; We have an Ir Oz (a city of strength); Yeshu'ah (salvation) is that which He makes [its] chomot (walls) and outer wall.
2Open ye the She'arim, that the Goy Tzaddik (right-with-G-d people) which is shomer emunim (keeping faith) may enter in.
3Thou wilt keep him in shalom shalom, whose yetzer (mind-set) is stayed on Thee; because he trusteth in Thee.
4Trust ye in Hashem forever; for in G-d Hashem is Tzur Olamin;
5For He bringeth down them that dwell on marom (high); the lofty city, He layeth it low; He layeth it low, even ad eretz; He bringeth it even to aphar (dust).
6The regel (foot) shall trample it down, even the feet of the oni (oppressed), and the footsteps of the dalim (poor, downtrodden, needy).
7The Orakh Latzaddik (way of the just) is meiysharim (altogether level, upright, direct ones); Thou, O Yashar (Upright One, Straight One), straighten the ma'agal (circuit) of the tzaddik.
8Indeed, in the orakh of Thy mishpatim, Hashem, have we waited for Thee; our ta'avat nefesh (yearning of soul) is for Thy Shem, and for the zekher (memory, remembrance) of Thee.
9With my nefesh have I desired thee in the lailah; yes, with my ruach within me will I seek Thee; for when Thy mishpatim are upon ha'aretz, the inhabitants of the tevel will learn tzedek.
10Let grace be shown to the rasha, yet he will not learn tzedek; in the Eretz Nekhochot (Land of Straightforwardness) he will deal unjustly, and will not regard the ge'ut Hashem (majesty, exaltedness of Hashem).
11 Hashem, when Thy Yad (hand, power) is lifted up, they will not see; but let them see and be ashamed of their kinat Am (envy of [G-dʼs] people); indeed, the eish of Thine enemies shall devour them.
12 Hashem, Thou wilt ordain shalom for us; for Thou also hast wrought all our ma'asim (works, deeds) in us.
13 Hashem Eloheinu, other adonim besides Thee have had dominion over us; but by Thee only do we keep Thy Shem in remembrance.
14They are mesim (dead ones), they shall not live; they are refa'im (dead ones),#26:14 See Job 26:5 they shall not rise; therefore Thou hast visited and destroyed them, and made all their zekher (memory) to perish.
15Thou hast increased the Goy (nation, people), Hashem, Thou hast increased the Goy; Thou hast gained glory; Thou hadst extended all the borders of the Eretz.
16 Hashem, in tzoros have they visited Thee, they davened a lachash (whisper) when Thy musar (chastening) was upon them.
17Like a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her delivery, in travail, and crieth out in her pangs; so have we been in Thy sight, Hashem.
18We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth ruach (wind); we have not wrought yeshu'ot (salvation of any kind) in Eretz; neither have inhabitants of the tevel (world) been born.
19Thy mesim#26:19 see also Dan 12:2 (dead men) shall live, together with my nevelah (dead bodies, corpses) shall they arise. Awake and sing for joy, ye that dwell in aphar (dust); for Thy tal (dew) is like the orot tal (morning dew), and Eretz shall give birth to repha'im (dead ones).
20Come, My people, enter thou into thy chederim, and shut thy delatot behind thee; hide thyself for a little rega (moment, while), until the za'am (wrath, indignation [of G-d]) has passed.
21For, hinei, Hashem goeth forth from His Makom (place, home) to punish the avon (iniquity) of inhabitants of ha'aretz; ha'aretz also shall disclose her dahm, and shall no more cover over her slain.

Isaiah 26
26
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.
