aThe lofty city;
He lays it low,
He lays it low to the ground,
He brings it down to the dust.
O Lord, we have bwaited for You;
The desire of our soul is for Your name
And for the remembrance of You.
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.
Yet he will not learn righteousness;
In bthe land of uprightness he will deal unjustly,
And will not behold the majesty of the Lord.
| << Isaiah 26:6 | Isaiah 26:8 >> |
