Isaiah 26:7

Yahweh's People Vindicated

⁶ “The foot will trample it,
The feet of the afflicted, the steps of the helpless.”
⁷ The way of the righteous is smooth;
O Upright One, make the path of the righteous level.
⁸ Indeed, while following the way of Your judgments, O Lord,
We have waited for You eagerly;
Your name, even Your memory, is the desire of our souls.
