Isaiah 26:1 - Forerunner Commentary

Isaiah 26:1

A Song of Salvation

1 In ^athat day this song will be sung in the land of Judah:
“We have a strong city;
^bGod will appoint salvation for walls and bulwarks.

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.

10 ^aLet grace be shown to the wicked,
Yet he will not learn righteousness;
In ^bthe land of uprightness he will deal unjustly,
And will not behold the majesty of the Lord.

11 Lord, when Your hand is lifted up, ^athey will not see.
But they will see and be ashamed
For¹ their envy of people;
Yes, the fire of Your enemies shall devour them.

12 Lord, You will establish peace for us,
For You have also done all our works¹ in us.

13 O Lord our God, ^amasters besides You
Have had dominion over us;
But by You only we make mention of Your name.

14 They are dead, they will not live;
They are deceased, they will not rise.
Therefore You have punished and destroyed them,
And made all their memory to ^aperish.
