Song
of Trust in God's Protection |
|
|
 |
| Isaiah 26:1 |
|
In that day this song will be sung in the land
of Judah: "We have a strong city; He sets up walls and ramparts for security. |
|
|
|
|
| Isaiah 26:2 |
|
"Open the gates, that the righteous nation may
enter, The one that remains faithful. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 26:3 |
|
"The steadfast of mind You will keep in perfect
peace, Because he trusts in You. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 26:4 |
|
"Trust in the LORD forever, For in GOD the LORD,
we have an everlasting Rock. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 26:5 |
|
"For He has brought low those who dwell on high,
the unassailable city; He lays it low, He lays it low to the ground, He casts
it to the dust. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 26:6 |
|
"The foot will trample it, The feet of the afflicted,
the steps of the helpless." |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 26:7 |
|
The way of the righteous is smooth; O Upright
One, make the path of the righteous level. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 26:8 |
|
Indeed, while following the way of Your judgments,
O LORD, We have waited for You eagerly; Your name, even Your memory, is the desire
of our souls. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 26:9 |
|
At night my soul longs for You, Indeed, my spirit
within me seeks You diligently; For when the earth experiences Your judgments
The inhabitants of the world learn righteousness. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 26:10 |
|
Though the wicked is shown favor, He does not
learn righteousness; He deals unjustly in the land of uprightness, And does not
perceive the majesty of the LORD. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 26:11 |
|
O LORD, Your hand is lifted up yet they do not
see it. They see Your zeal for the people and are put to shame; Indeed, fire will
devour Your enemies. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 26:12 |
|
LORD, You will establish peace for us, Since
You have also performed for us all our works. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 26:13 |
|
O LORD our God, other masters besides You have
ruled us; But through You alone we confess Your name. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 26:14 |
|
The dead will not live, the departed spirits
will not rise; Therefore You have punished and destroyed them, And You have wiped
out all remembrance of them. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 26:15 |
|
You have increased the nation, O LORD, You have
increased the nation, You are glorified; You have extended all the borders of
the land. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 26:16 |
|
O LORD, they sought You in distress; They could
only whisper a prayer, Your chastening was upon them. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 26:17 |
|
As the pregnant woman approaches the time to
give birth, She writhes and cries out in her labor pains, Thus were we before
You, O LORD. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 26:18 |
|
We were pregnant, we writhed in labor, We gave
birth, as it seems, only to wind. We could not accomplish deliverance for the
earth, Nor were inhabitants of the world born. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 26:19 |
|
Your dead will live; Their corpses will rise.
You who lie in the dust, awake and shout for joy, For your dew is as the dew of
the dawn, And the earth will give birth to the departed spirits. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 26:20 |
|
Come, my people, enter into your rooms And close
your doors behind you; Hide for a little while Until indignation runs its course.
|
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 26:21 |
|
For behold, the LORD is about to come out from
His place To punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity; And the earth
will reveal her bloodshed And will no longer cover her slain. |
