Context of Isaiah 26:14

12Yhwh, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought all our works in us. 13O Yhwh our God, other lords beside thee have had dominion over us: but by thee only will we make mention of thy name. They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish. 15Thou hast increased the nation, O Yhwh, thou hast increased the nation: thou art glorified: thou hadst removed it far unto all the ends of the earth. 16Yhwh, in trouble have they visited thee, they poured out a prayer when thy chastening was upon them.
