Isaiah 26 : 1 - 9
1 | In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah: "We have a strong city; God will appoint salvation for walls and bulwarks. |
2 | Open the gates, That the righteous nation which keeps the truth may enter in. |
3 | You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You. |
4 | Trust in the LORD forever, For in Yah, the LORD, is everlasting strength. |
5 | For He brings down those who dwell on high, The lofty city; He lays it low, He lays it low to the ground, He brings it down to the dust. |
6 | The foot shall tread it down--The feet of the poor And the steps of the needy." |
7 | The way of the just is uprightness; O Most Upright, You weigh the path of the just. |
8 | Yes, in the way of Your judgments, O LORD, we have waited for You; The desire of our soul is for Your name And for the remembrance of You. |
9 | With my soul I have desired You in the night, Yes, by my spirit within me I will seek You early; For when Your judgments are in the earth, The inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness. |
