Isaiah 26:4
Compare all
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.

Isaiah 26:4

Lord JEHOVAH—Hebrew, Jah, Jehovah. The union of the two names expresses in the highest degree God's unchanging love and power (compare Psalms 68:4). This passage, and Isaiah 12:2; Exodus 6:3; Psalms 83:18, are the four in which the English Version retains the JEHOVAH of the original. MAURER translates, "For JAH (the eternal unchangeable One, Exodus 3:14) is JEHOVAH, the rock of ages" (compare Isaiah 45:17; Deuteronomy 32:15; I Samuel 2:2).
