Isaiah 26

Lexham English Bible LEB

1 On that day, this song will be sung in the land of Judah: "{We have a strong city};<note: Literally "a city of strength for us"> he sets up victory [like] walls and ramparts!<note: Hebrew "rampart">

2 Open [the] gates {so that} [the] righteous nation who keeps faithfulness may enter!

3 You will protect a firm inclination [in] peace, [in] peace because he trusts in you.

4 Trust in Yahweh forever, for in Yah, Yahweh [you have] an everlasting rock.

5 For he has thrown down [the] inhabitants of [the] height, he lays low [the] lofty city. He lays it low to [the] ground; he throws her to [the] dust.

6 [The] foot tramples it, [the] feet of [the] poor, [the] steps of [the] needy."

7 [The] way of the righteous [is] a straight path; {you clear the level path of the righteous}.

8 Surely we wait for you [in] the path of your judgments, Yahweh, for your name and renown [are the] desire of [the] soul.

9 I desire you [with all] my soul in the night; also I seek you [with] my spirit within me, for when your judgments [are] {upon} the earth, [the] inhabitants of [the] world learn righteousness.

10 [Though the] wicked person is shown compassion, he does not learn righteousness; he acts unjustly in [the] land [of] uprightness, and he does not see the majesty of Yahweh.

11 Yahweh, [though] your hand reaches high, they do not see [it]. Let them see, and let them be ashamed of [the] zeal of people. Indeed, let the fire of your enemies consume them.

12 Yahweh, you will establish peace for us, for you have done even all of our works for us.

13 Yahweh, our God, lords besides you ruled over us, {but we praise your name alone}.

14 [The] dead do not live; dead spirits do not rise because you have punished and destroyed them, and you have destroyed all memory of them.

15 You have added to the nation, Yahweh. You have added to the nation; you are honored. You have extended all [the] ends of [the] land.

16 Yahweh, in distress they have visited you; they poured out an {incantation}; your discipline [was] on them.

17 Like [a] pregnant woman on the point of giving birth, she writhes; she cries in her labor pains. So we were because of your presence, Yahweh.

18 We became pregnant, we writhed; we gave birth [to] wind. We cannot bring about deliverance [on the] earth, and no inhabitants of [the] world are born.

19 Your dead shall live; {their corpses} shall rise. Wake up and sing for joy, dwellers of [the] dust, for your dew [is] {celestial dew}, and the earth will give birth to dead spirits.

20 Go, my people, enter into your chambers and shut your doors behind you; hide for {a very little} while, until [the] wrath has passed over.

21 For look! Yahweh [is] about to come out from his place to punish the iniquity of the inhabitants of the earth against him, and the earth will disclose her blood and will no longer cover her slain.

New International Version NIV

1 In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah: We have a strong city; God makes salvation its walls and ramparts.

2 Open the gates that the righteous nation may enter, the nation that keeps faith.

3 You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.

4 Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD, the LORD himself, is the Rock eternal.

5 He humbles those who dwell on high, he lays the lofty city low; he levels it to the ground and casts it down to the dust.

6 Feet trample it down— the feet of the oppressed, the footsteps of the poor.

7 The path of the righteous is level; you, the Upright One, make the way of the righteous smooth.

8 Yes, LORD, walking in the way of your laws,we wait for you; your name and renown are the desire of our hearts.

9 My soul yearns for you in the night; in the morning my spirit longs for you. When your judgments come upon the earth, the people of the world learn righteousness.

10 But when grace is shown to the wicked, they do not learn righteousness; even in a land of uprightness they go on doing evil and do not regard the majesty of the LORD.

11 LORD, your hand is lifted high, but they do not see it. Let them see your zeal for your people and be put to shame; let the fire reserved for your enemies consume them.

12 LORD, you establish peace for us; all that we have accomplished you have done for us.

13 LORD our God, other lords besides you have ruled over us, but your name alone do we honor.

14 They are now dead, they live no more; their spirits do not rise. You punished them and brought them to ruin; you wiped out all memory of them.

15 You have enlarged the nation, LORD; you have enlarged the nation. You have gained glory for yourself; you have extended all the borders of the land.

16 LORD, they came to you in their distress; when you disciplined them, they could barely whisper a prayer.

17 As a pregnant woman about to give birth writhes and cries out in her pain, so were we in your presence, LORD.

18 We were with child, we writhed in labor, but we gave birth to wind. We have not brought salvation to the earth, and the people of the world have not come to life.

19 But your dead will live, LORD; their bodies will rise— let those who dwell in the dust wake up and shout for joy— your dew is like the dew of the morning; the earth will give birth to her dead.

20 Go, my people, enter your rooms and shut the doors behind you; hide yourselves for a little while until his wrath has passed by.

21 See, the LORD is coming out of his dwelling to punish the people of the earth for their sins. The earth will disclose the blood shed on it; the earth will conceal its slain no longer.
