Context of Isaiah 26:4
2Open the gates so a righteous nation can enter – one that remains trustworthy. 3You keep completely safe the people who maintain their faith, for they trust in you. Trust in the Lord from this time forward, even in Yah, the Lord, an enduring protector! 5Indeed, the Lord knocks down those who live in a high place, he brings down an elevated town; he brings it down to the ground, he throws it down to the dust. 6It is trampled underfoot by the feet of the oppressed, by the soles of the poor.”
