Isaiah 26 Bible Study

Day 1 · A Song of Salvation

Isaiah 26:1–15

¹In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah: We have a strong city; salvation is established as its walls and ramparts. ²Open the gates so a righteous nation may enter— one that remains faithful. ³You will keep in perfect peace the steadfast of mind, because he trusts in You. ⁴Trust in the LORD forever, because GOD the LORD is the Rock eternal. ⁵For He has humbled those who dwell on high; He lays the lofty city low. He brings it down to the ground; He casts it into the dust. ⁶Feet trample it down— the feet of the oppressed, the steps of the poor. ⁷The path of the righteous is level; You clear a straight path for the upright. ⁸Yes, we wait for You, O LORD; we walk in the path of Your judgments. Your name and renown are the desire of our souls. ⁹My soul longs for You in the night; indeed, my spirit seeks You at dawn. For when Your judgments come upon the earth, the people of the world learn righteousness. ¹⁰Though grace is shown to the wicked man, he does not learn righteousness. In the land of righteousness he acts unjustly and fails to see the majesty of the LORD. ¹¹O LORD, Your hand is upraised, but they do not see it. They will see Your zeal for Your people and be put to shame. The fire set for Your enemies will consume them! ¹²O LORD, You will establish peace for us. For all that we have accomplished, You have done for us. ¹³O LORD our God, other lords besides You have had dominion, but Your name alone do we confess. ¹⁴The dead will not live; the departed spirits will not rise. Therefore You have punished and destroyed them; You have wiped out all memory of them. ¹⁵You have enlarged the nation, O LORD; You have enlarged the nation. You have gained glory for Yourself; You have extended all the borders of the land.
