Isaiah 26

1In that dayH3117 shall this songH7892 be sungH7891 in the landH776 of JudahH3063: WeH3117 have a strongH5794 cityH5892; salvationH3444 will he appointH7896 for wallsH2346 and bulwarks. 2OpenH6605 ye the gatesH8179, that the righteousH6662 nationH1471 whichH1471 keepeth truth may enterH935 in. 3Thou wilt keepH5341 him in perfectH7965 peaceH7965, whoseH5564 mindH3336 is stayed on thee: becauseH3588 he trusteth in thee. 4TrustH982 ye in the LORDH3068 for everH5703: for in the LORDH3068 JEHOVAHH3068 is an everlastingH5769 rockH6697. 5For he hath broughtH7817 downH3427 them that dwellH3427 on highH4791, the loftyH4791 cityH7151: he layeth it lowH8213, he layeth it lowH8213 evenH5704 to the groundH776; he bringeth it evenH5704 to the dustH6083. 6The footH7272 shall treadH7429 it downH7429; even the feetH7272 of the poorH6041, and the stepsH6471 of the needyH6041. 7The wayH734 of the justH6662 is uprightnessH4339: thou that art upH6662 rightH3477 dost direct the pathH734 of the justH6662. 8Yea, in the wayH734 of thy judgmentsH4941, O LORDH3068, have weH5315 waited for thee; to thy nameH8034 and to thy memorialH8034 is the desireH8378 of our soulH5315. 9With my soulH5315 have I desiredH183 thee in the nightH3915; yeaH3588, with my spiritH7307 withinH7130 meH5315 will I seekH7836 thee early: for when thy judgmentsH4941 are in the earthH776, the inhabitantsH3427 of the worldH8398 learnH3925 righteousnessH6664. 10Let favour be shewed to the wickedH7563, yet will he notH776 learnH3925 righteousnessH6664; in the landH776 of uprightness will he deal wrongfully, and will notH776 beholdH7200 the majestyH1348 of the LORDH3068. 11LORDH3068, thy handH3027 is liftedH7311 upH7311, yet they seeH2372 notH398: but they shall seeH2372 thy zealH7068 for the peopleH5971, and be ashamedH954; yea, fireH784 shall devourH398 thine adversaries. 12LORDH3068, thou wilt ordain peaceH7965 for usH3588: for thou hast also wroughtH4639 allH3605 our worksH4639 for usH3588. 13O LORDH3068 our GodH430, other lordsH113 beside thee have had dominion over usH2142; but by thee onlyH905 will weH905 makeH2142 mentionH2142 of thy nameH8034. 14They are deadH4191, they shall notH1077 liveH2421; they are deceasedH4191, they shall notH1077 riseH6965: therefore hast thou visitedH6485 and destroyedH8045 them, and madeH6485 allH3605 their memoryH2143 to perishH6. 15Thou hast increasedH3254 the nationH1471, O LORDH3068, thou hast increasedH3254 the nationH1471; thou art glorifiedH3513: thou hast enlarged allH3605 the bordersH7099 of the landH776. 16LORDH3068, in troubleH6862 have they visitedH6485 thee, they pouredH6694 out a prayerH3908 when thy chasteningH4148 was upon them. 17Like as a womanH2030 with childH2030, that draweth nearH7126 the time of herH1961 deliveryH3205, is in pain and crieth outH2199 in herH1961 pangs; soH3651 have we been beforeH6440 thee, O LORDH3068. 18WeH776 have been with childH3205, weH776 have been in pain, weH776 have as it were broughtH3205 forthH3205 windH7307; weH776 have notH776 wrought any deliveranceH3444 in the earthH776; neither have the inhabitantsH3427 of the worldH8398 fallenH5307. 19Thy deadH4191 shall liveH2421; my deadH4191 bodiesH5038 shall ariseH6965. Awake and singH7442, ye that dwellH7931 in the dustH6083: for thy dewH2919 is as the dewH2919 of herbs, and the earthH776 shall castH5307 forth the deadH4191. 20ComeH935, my peopleH5971, enterH935 thou intoH935 thy chambersH2315, and shutH5462 thy doorsH1817 aboutH1157 thee: hideH2247 thyself for a littleH4592 momentH7281, untilH5704 the indignationH2195 be overpast. 21For, beholdH2009, the LORDH3068 cometh forthH3318 outH3318 of his placeH4725 to punishH6485 the inhabitantsH3427 of the earthH776 for their iniquityH5771: the earthH776 also shall disclose herH1540 bloodH1818, and shall noH3808 moreH5750 coverH3680 herH1540 slainH2026.
