Isaiah 26:4

2 ^aOpen the gates,
That the righteous nation which¹ keeps the truth may enter in.

3 You will keep him in perfect ^apeace,
Whose mind is stayed on You,
Because he trusts in You.

4 Trust in the Lord forever,
^aFor in YAH, the Lord, is¹ everlasting strength.

5 For He brings¹ down those who dwell on high,
^aThe lofty city;
He lays it low,
He lays it low to the ground,
He brings it down to the dust.

6 The foot shall¹ tread it down—
The feet of the poor
And the steps of the needy.”

7 The way of the just is uprightness;
^aO Most Upright,
You¹ weigh the path of the just.

8 Yes, ^ain the way of Your judgments,
O Lord, we have ^bwaited for You;
The desire of our soul is for Your name
And for the remembrance of You.

9 ^aWith my soul I have desired You in the night,
Yes, by my spirit within me I will seek You early;
For when Your judgments are in the earth,
The inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.
