Context of Isaiah 26:13
11Lord, 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. 12Lord, you will establish peace for us, for you have also done all our work for us. Lord our God, lords other than you have owned us, but we remember your name alone. 14The 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. 15You have added to the nation, Lord. You have added to the nation; you are honored. You have expanded all the borders of the land.
