Bible Scriptures from Isaiah
Chapter 26
26:1 In
that day shall this song be sung in the land of
Judah; We have a strong city; salvation will God
appoint for walls and bulwarks.
26:2 Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation
which keepeth the truth may enter in.
26:3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind
is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
26:4 Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD
JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:
26:5 For he bringeth down them that dwell on high;
the lofty city, he layeth it low; he layeth it low,
even to the ground; he bringeth it even to the dust.
26:6 The foot shall tread it down, even the feet of
the poor, and the steps of the needy.
26:7 The way of the just is uprightness: thou, most
upright, dost weigh the path of the just.
26:8 Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O LORD, have
we waited for thee; the desire of our soul is to thy
name, and to the remembrance of thee.
26:9 With my soul have I desired thee in the night;
yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee
early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the
inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.
26:10 Let favour be shewed to the wicked, yet will
he not learn righteousness: in the land of
uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not
behold the majesty of the LORD.
26:11 LORD, when thy hand is lifted up, they will
not see: but they shall see, and be ashamed for
their envy at the people; yea, the fire of thine
enemies shall devour them.
26:12 LORD, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou
also hast wrought all our works in us.
26:13 O LORD our God, other lords beside thee have
had dominion over us: but by thee only will we make
mention of thy name.
26:14 They are dead, they shall not live; they are
deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou
visited and destroyed them, and made all their
memory to perish.
26:15 Thou hast increased the nation, O LORD, thou
hast increased the nation: thou art glorified: thou
hadst removed it far unto all the ends of the earth.
26:16 LORD, in trouble have they visited thee, they
poured out a prayer when thy chastening was upon
them.
26:17 Like as a woman with child, that draweth near
the time of her delivery, is in pain, and crieth out
in her pangs; so have we been in thy sight, O LORD.
26:18 We have been with child, we have been in pain,
we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not
wrought any deliverance in the earth; neither have
the inhabitants of the world fallen.
26:19 Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead
body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell
in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the
earth shall cast out the dead.
26:20 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers,
and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it
were for a little moment, until the indignation be
overpast.
26:21 For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place
to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their
iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood,
and shall no more cover her slain.
