Isaiah 26:1-6 - Judah's Song Of Praise

¹ In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah:

“We have a strong city;
He sets up salvation as walls and ramparts.
²
“Open the gates, that the righteous nation may enter,
The one that remains faithful and trustworthy.
³
“You will keep in perfect and constant peace the one whose mind is steadfast [that is, committed and focused on You—in both inclination and character],
Because he trusts and takes refuge in You [with hope and confident expectation].
⁴
“Trust [confidently] in the Lord forever [He is your fortress, your shield, your banner],
For the Lord God is an everlasting Rock [the Rock of Ages].
⁵
“For He has thrown down the [arrogant] ones who dwell on high, the lofty and inaccessible city;
He lays it low, He lays it low to the ground, He hurls it to the dust.
⁶
“The foot will trample it,
Even the feet of the suffering, and the steps of the helpless.”
