Isaiah 26
26
Trust the Rock of Ages
1In that day, this song will be sung in the land of Judah: “We have a strong city. He appoints salvation as its walls and ramparts.
2Open the gates! Let the righteous nation enter— one that keeps faith.
3You keep in perfect peace one whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.
4Trust in Adonai forever, for the Lord Adonai is a Rock of ages.
5For He humbles those dwelling on high, leveling the lofty city, leveling it to the ground, bringing it down to the dust.
6Feet will trample it down, feet of the afflicted, the footsteps of the poor.
7The way of the righteous is straight. Upright One, You make smooth the path of the righteous.
8Yes, in the way of Your judgments, Adonai, we have waited for You. Your Name and Your remembrance is the desire of our soul.
9My soul longs for You at night, yes, my spirit within me seeks You. For when Your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
10Though grace is shown to the wicked, he does not learn righteousness. Even in a land of uprightness he will act wrongly, not perceiving the majesty of Adonai.
11Adonai, Your hand is lifted up, yet they do not see it; They will see Your zeal for the people and be put to shame. Yes, fire will devour Your enemies.
Your Dead Will Live!
12Adonai, You will establish shalom for us, for all our works You have done for us.
13Adonai Eloheinu, other lords beside You have had dominion over us, but we remember Your Name alone.
14The dead do not live— dead souls do not rise. Thus You punished and destroyed them and wiped out all memory of them.
15You have increased the nation, Adonai, You have increased the nation. You are glorified as You have expanded all the borders of the land.
16Adonai, they sought You in distress, they poured out a whispered prayer when Your discipline was upon them.
17As a pregnant woman about to give birth writhes and cries out in her pain, so we were before You, Adonai.
18We have been with child, we have been in pain, yet we gave birth to wind. We are accomplishing no deliverance for the earth, nor are inhabitants of the world coming to life.
19Yet it will be: “Your dead will live! My corpses will rise! Awake and shout for joy, you who dwell in the dust! Your dew is like the dew of the dawn. The land of dead souls will come to life!
20Go, my people, enter your rooms, and shut your doors behind you. Hide for a little while, until the wrath is past.
21For behold, Adonai is coming out from His place to punish inhabitants of the earth for iniquity. The earth will disclose her bloodshed, no longer covering up 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.
