Isaiah 26:1–4

You Keep Him in Perfect Peace

In that day ethis song will be sung in the land of Judah:

We have a strong city;

he sets up fsalvation

as walls and bulwarks.

gOpen the gates,

that the righteous nation that keeps faith may enter in.

hYou keep him in perfect peace

whose mind is stayed on you,

because he trusts in you.

Trust in the Lord forever,

for the Lord God is an everlasting rock.


Isaiah 26:8–9

In the path of your judgments,

O Lord, we wait for you;

lyour name and lremembrance

are the desire of our soul.

My soul yearns for you in the night;

my spirit within me earnestly seeks you.

mFor when your judgments are in the earth,

the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.


Isaiah 26:12–13

12  O Lord, you will ordain rpeace for us,

for you have indeed done for us all our works.

13  O Lord our God,

sother lords besides you have ruled over us,

tbut your name alone we bring to remembrance.


Isaiah 26:19–21

19  yYour dead shall live; their bodies shall rise.

You who dwell in the dust, awake and sing for joy!

For zyour dew is a dew of light,

and the earth will give birth to the dead.

20  Come, my people, enter your chambers,

and shut your doors behind you;

hide yourselves afor a little while

until the fury has passed by.

21  bFor behold, the Lord is coming out from his place

to punish the inhabitants of cthe earth for their iniquity,

and the earth will disclose the blood shed on it,

and will no more cover its slain.
