Isaiah 26:4-10

4Trust in the Lord always, for the Lord God is the eternal Rock.

5He humbles the proud and brings down the arrogant city. He brings it down to the dust.

6The poor and oppressed trample it underfoot, and the needy walk all over it.

7But for those who are righteous, the way is not steep and rough. You are a God who does what is right, and you smooth out the path ahead of them.

8Lord, we show our trust in you by obeying your laws; our heart’s desire is to glorify your name.

9In the night I search for you; in the morning I earnestly seek you. For only when you come to judge the earth will people learn what is right.

10Your kindness to the wicked does not make them do good. Although others do right, the wicked keep doing wrong and take no notice of the Lord’s majesty.
