Isaiah 26

1 A song inciting to confidence in God, 5 for his judgments, 12 and for favour to his people. 20 An exhortation to wait on God.

 26:1 ¶ In that x1931 day 3117 shall this x2088 song 7892 be sung 7891 z8714 in the land 776 of Judah; 3063 We have a strong 5797 city; 5892 salvation 3444 will [God] appoint 7896 z8799 [for] walls 2346 and bulwarks. 2426

 26:2 Open 6605 z8798 ye the gates, 8179 that the righteous 6662 nation 1471 which keepeth 8104 z8802 the truth 529 may enter in. 935 z8799

 26:3 Thou wilt keep 5341 z8799 [him] in perfect y7965 peace, 7965 [whose] mind 3336 [is] stayed 5564 z8803 [on thee]: because x3588 he trusteth 982 z8803 in thee.

 26:4 Trust 982 z8798 ye in the LORD 3068 for ever: 5703 x5704 for x3588 in the LORD 3050 JEHOVAH 3068 [is] everlasting 5769 strength: 6697

 26:5 ¶ For x3588 he bringeth down 7817 z8689 them that dwell 3427 z8802 on high; 4791 the lofty 7682 z8737 city, 7151 he layeth it low; 8213 z8686 he layeth it low, 8213 z8686 [even] to x5704 the ground; 776 he bringeth 5060 z8686 it [even] to x5704 the dust. 6083

 26:6 The foot 7272 shall tread it down, 7429 z8799 [even] the feet 7272 of the poor, 6041 [and] the steps 6471 of the needy. 1800

 26:7 The way 734 of the just 6662 [is] uprightness: 4339 thou, most upright, 3477 dost weigh 6424 z8762 the path 4570 of the just. 6662

 26:8 Yea, x637 in the way 734 of thy judgments, 4941 O LORD, 3068 have we waited 6960 z8765 for thee; the desire 8378 of [our] soul 5315 [is] to thy name, 8034 and to the remembrance 2143 of thee.

 26:9 With my soul 5315 have I desired 183 z8765 thee in the night; 3915 yea, x637 with my spirit 7307 within 7130 me will I seek thee early: 7836 z8762 for x3588 when x834 thy judgments 4941 [are] in the earth, 776 the inhabitants 3427 z8802 of the world 8398 will learn 3925 z8804 righteousness. 6664

 26:10 Let favour be shewed 2603 z8717 to the wicked, 7563 [yet] will he not 1077 learn 3925 z8804 righteousness: 6664 in the land 776 of uprightness 5229 will he deal unjustly, 5765 z8762 and will not 1077 behold 7200 z8799 the majesty 1348 of the LORD. 3068

 26:11 LORD, 3068 [when] thy hand 3027 is lifted up, y7311 z8804 x5375 they will not x1077 see: 2372 z8799 [but] they shall see, 2372 z8799 and be ashamed 954 z8799 for [their] envy 7068 at the people; 5971 yea, x637 the fire 784 of thine enemies 6862 shall devour 398 z8799 them.

 26:12 ¶ LORD, 3068 thou wilt ordain 8239 z8799 peace 7965 for us: for x3588 thou also x1571 hast wrought 6466 z8804 all x3605 our works 4639 in us.

 26:13 O LORD 3068 our God, 430 [other] lords 113 beside 2108 thee have had dominion 1166 z8804 over us: [but] by thee only x905 will we make mention 2142 z8686 of thy name. 8034

 26:14 [They are] dead, 4191 z8801 they shall not x1077 live; 2421 z8799 [they are] deceased, 7496 they shall not x1077 rise: 6965 z8799 therefore x3651 hast thou visited 6485 z8804 and destroyed 8045 z8686 them, and made all x3605 their memory 2143 to perish. 6 z8762

 26:15 Thou hast increased 3254 z8804 the nation, 1471 O LORD, 3068 thou hast increased 3254 z8804 the nation: 1471 thou art glorified: 3513 z8738 thou hadst removed [it] far 7368 z8765 [unto] all x3605 the ends 7099 of the earth. 776

 26:16 LORD, 3068 in trouble 6862 have they visited 6485 z8804 thee, they poured out 6694 z8804 a prayer 3908 [when] thy chastening 4148 [was] upon them.

 26:17 Like y3644 as x3644 a woman with child, 2030 [that] draweth near 7126 z8686 the time of her delivery, 3205 z8800 is in pain, 2342 z8799 [and] crieth out 2199 z8799 in her pangs; 2256 so x3651 have we been x1961 in thy sight, 6440 x4480 O LORD. 3068

 26:18 We have been with child, 2029 z8804 we have been in pain, 2342 z8804 we have as it were 3644 brought forth 3205 z8804 wind; 7307 we have not x1077 wrought 6213 z8799 any deliverance 3444 in the earth; 776 neither 1077 have the inhabitants 3427 z8802 of the world 8398 fallen. 5307 z8799

 26:19 Thy dead 4191 z8801 [men] shall live, 2421 z8799 [together with] my dead body 5038 shall they arise. 6965 z8799 Awake 6974 z8685 and sing, 7442 z8761 ye that dwell 7931 z8802 in dust: 6083 for x3588 thy dew 2919 [is as] the dew 2919 of herbs, 219 and the earth 776 shall cast out 5307 z8686 the dead. 7496

 26:20 ¶ Come, y3212 z8798 x1980 my people, 5971 enter 935 z8798 thou into thy chambers, 2315 and shut 5462 z8798 thy doors 1817 about x1157 thee: hide 2247 z8798 thyself as it were for a little 4592 moment, 7281 until x5704 the indignation 2195 be overpast. 5674 z8799

 26:21 For, x3588 behold, x2009 the LORD 3068 cometh x3318 out y3318 z8802 of his place 4725 x4480 to punish 6485 z8800 the inhabitants 3427 z8802 of the earth 776 for their iniquity: 5771 the earth 776 also shall disclose 1540 z8765 x853 her blood, 1818 and shall no x3808 more x5750 cover 3680 z8762 x5921 her slain. 2026 z8803
