Context of Isaiah 26:3
1On that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah: We have a strong city. Its walls and fortifications provide safety. 2Open the gates, and let the righteous nation come in, the nation that remains faithful. With perfect peace you will protect those whose minds cannot be changed, because they trust you. 4Trust the Lord always, because the Lord, the Lord alone, is an everlasting rock. 5He has brought down those who live high in the towering city. He levels it. He levels it to the ground and throws it into the dust.
