Isaiah 26
1 In the day that it will be sung the song this in [the] land of Judah a city of strength [belongs] to us salvation he sets walls and a rampart.
In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah: We have a strong city; walls and bulwarks doth He appoint for salvation.
2 Open [the] gates so it may enter a nation righteous [which] keeps faithfulness.
Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation that keepeth faithfulness may enter in.
3 An inclination firm you will keep peace - peace for in you [he is] trusting.
The mind stayed on Thee Thou keepest in perfect peace; because it trusteth in Thee.
4 Trust in Yahweh until perpetuity for [is] Yahweh Yahweh a rock of everlastingness.
Trust ye in the LORD for ever, for the LORD is GOD, an everlasting Rock.
5 For he will lay low [the] inhabitants of a high place a town set on high he will bring low it he will bring low it to [the] ground he will make touch it to [the] dust.
For He hath brought down them that dwell on high, the lofty city, laying it low, laying it low even to the ground, bringing it even to the dust.
6 It will trample it a foot [the] feet of [the] afflicted [the] footsteps of poor [people].
The foot shall tread it down, even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy.
7 [the] way Of the righteous [is] level paths O upright [one] [the] track of [the] righteous you make level.
The way of the just is straight; Thou, Most Upright, makest plain the path of the just.
8 Also [the] way of judgments your O Yahweh we have waited for you [is] for name your and for memory your [the] desire of self.
Yea, in the way of Thy judgments, O LORD, have we waited for Thee; to Thy name and to Thy memorial is the desire of our soul.
9 Self my I have desired you in the night also spirit my in inner being my I will seek you for when judgments your [are] to the earth righteousness they learn [the] inhabitants of [the] world.
With my soul have I desired Thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me have I sought Thee earnestly; for when Thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
10 He is shown favor [the] wicked not he learns righteousness in a land of straightforwardness he acts unjustly and not he sees [the] majesty of Yahweh.
Let favour be shown to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness; in the land of uprightness will he deal wrongfully, and will not behold the majesty of the LORD.
11 O Yahweh it is raised hand your not they behold! they will behold and they may be ashamed [the] zeal of a people also [the] fire of opponents your it will consume them.
LORD, Thy hand was lifted up, yet they see not; they shall see with shame Thy zeal for the people; yea, fire shall devour Thine adversaries.
12 O Yahweh you will establish peace for us for also all works our you have done for us.
LORD, Thou wilt establish peace for us; for Thou hast indeed wrought all our works for us.
13 O Yahweh God our they have ruled over us lords except you only in you we bring to remembrance name your.
O LORD our God, other lords beside Thee have had dominion over us; but by Thee only do we make mention of Thy name.
14 Dead [ones] not they will live shades not they will rise therefore you have visited and you have destroyed them and you have destroyed all remembrance of them.
The dead live not, the shades rise not; to that end hast Thou punished and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish.
15 You have added to the nation O Yahweh you have added to the nation you have gained glory you have extended all [the] boundaries of [the] land.
Thou hast gotten Thee honour with the nations, O LORD, yea, exceeding great honour with the nations; Thou art honoured unto the farthest ends of the earth.
16 O Yahweh in distress people sought you they poured out! a whisper chastening your [was] to them.
LORD, in trouble have they sought Thee, silently they poured out a prayer when Thy chastening was upon them.
17 Like a pregnant [woman] [who] she brings near to give birth she is in labor she cries out in labor-pains her so we were because of you O Yahweh.
Like as a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain and crieth out in her pangs; so have we been at Thy presence, O LORD.
18 We were pregnant we were in labor like we gave birth to wind deliverance not we accomplish [the] earth and not they fall [the] inhabitants of [the] world.
We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the land; neither are the inhabitants of the world come to life.
19 They will live dead [ones] your corpse my they will rise! awake and shout for joy O [those who] dwell of dust for [will be the] dew of lights dew your and [the] earth [the] shades it will make fall.
Thy dead shall live, my dead bodies shall arise — awake and sing, ye that dwell in the dust — for Thy dew is as the dew of light, and the earth shall bring to life the shades.
20 Come O people my go in rooms your and shut (door your *Q(K)*) behind you hide like a little of a moment until (it has passed by *Q(k)*) indignation.
Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee; hide thyself for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.
21 For there! Yahweh [is] about to go forth from place his to visit [the] iniquity of [the] inhabitant[s] of the earth on him and it will reveal the earth blood its and not it will cover still over slain [ones] its.
For, behold, the LORD cometh forth out of His place to visit upon the inhabitants of the earth their iniquity; the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.
