Context of Isaiah 26:6

4Trust ye in Jehovah for ever; for in Jehovah, even Jehovah, is an everlasting rock. 5For he hath brought 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. The foot shall tread it down; even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy. 7The way of the just is uprightness: thou that art upright dost direct the path of the just. 8Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O Jehovah, have we waited for thee; to thy name, even to thy memorial name, is the desire of our soul.
