The Song of Judah
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 26:1 -

On that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah:

We have a strong city.

Salvation is established as walls and ramparts.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 26:2 -

Open the gates

so a righteous nation can come in —

one that remains faithful.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 26:3 -

You will keep the mind that is dependent on you

in perfect peace,

for it is trusting in you.

Trust in the LORD forever,

because in the LORD, the LORD himself, is an everlasting rock!

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 26:5 -

For he has humbled those who live in lofty places —

an inaccessible city.

He brings it down; he brings it down to the ground;

he throws it to the dust.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 26:6 -

Feet trample it,

the feet of the humble,

the steps of the poor.

God’s People Vindicated
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 26:7 -

The path of the righteous is level;

you clear a straight path for the righteous.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 26:8 -

Yes, LORD, we wait for you

in the path of your judgments.

Our desire is for your name and renown.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 26:9 -

I long for you in the night;

yes, my spirit within me diligently seeks you,

for when your judgments are in the land,

the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 26:10 -

But if the wicked man is shown favor,

he does not learn righteousness.

In a righteous land he acts unjustly

and does not see the majesty of the LORD.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 26:11 -

LORD, your hand is lifted up to take action,

but they do not see it.

Let them see your zeal for your people

and be put to shame.

Let fire consume your adversaries.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 26:12 -

LORD, you will establish peace for us,

for you have also done all our work for us.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 26:13 -

LORD our God, lords other than you have owned[fn] us,

but we remember your name alone.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 26:14 -

The dead do not live;

departed spirits do not rise up.

Indeed, you have punished and destroyed them;

you have wiped out all memory of them.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 26:15 -

You have added to the nation, LORD.

You have added to the nation; you are honored.

You have expanded all the borders of the land.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 26:16 -

LORD, they went to you in their distress;

they poured out whispered prayers

because your discipline fell on them.[fn]

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 26:17 -

As a pregnant woman about to give birth

writhes and cries out in her pains,

so we were before you, LORD.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 26:18 -

We became pregnant, we writhed in pain;

we gave birth to wind.

We have won no victories on earth,

and the earth’s inhabitants have not fallen.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 26:19 -

Your dead will live; their bodies[fn] will rise.

Awake and sing, you who dwell in the dust!

For you will be covered with the morning dew,[fn]

and the earth will bring out the departed spirits.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 26:20 -

Go, my people, enter your rooms

and close your doors behind you.

Hide for a little while until the wrath has passed.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 26:21 -

For look, the LORD is coming from his place

to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity.

The earth will reveal the blood shed on it

and will no longer conceal her slain.
