Trust in God and Hope for Deliverance

Isaiah 26:1-21

26
Chapter 26
1 In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah: "We have a strong city; salvation will set up walls and ramparts." 2 Open the gates so that a righteous nation that keeps faith may enter. 3 You keep peace peace for a steadfast inclination in you trusting. 4 Trust in the LORD forever and ever, for in the LORD, who is everlasting, is the rock of ages. 5 For he has brought low the inhabitants of the height, the exalted city. He will bring her low; she will bring her low to the land; he will bring her to the dust. 6 She will trample it with the foot of the poor, the steps of the needy. 7 The path of the righteous is level; you make the upright path straight. 8 LORD, we have waited for the way of your justice, for your name and for your remembrance—the craving of our soul. 9 My soul yearns for you at night; even my spirit within me seeks you at dawn. For when your judgments are on the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness. 10 Let favor be shown to the wicked—though he has not learned righteousness—in the land of uprightness he acts perversely, and he does not see the majesty of the LORD. 11 LORD, your hand is raised high—yet they do not see. They will see and be ashamed of the people. Jealousy of people, anger—fire will devour your adversaries. 12 The LORD, you have set peace for us, for even all our deeds you have worked for us. 13 The LORD our God, masters have ruled over us apart from you alone—in you we will mention your name. 14 The dead will not live; Rephaim will not rise. Therefore you visited and destroyed them and caused every memory of them to perish. 15 You have added to the nation, LORD; you have added to the nation; you have extended all the borders of the land. 16 The LORD visited you in distress; anguish was a whisper, your discipline to them. 17 Like a pregnant woman about to give birth writhes and cries out in her birth pangs, so we have been before you, LORD. 18 We have been in labor; we have writhed, but we have given birth to wind. We have not brought salvation to the earth, and the inhabitants of the world have not fallen. 19 Your dead shall live; my corpse shall rise. Awake and shout for joy, you who dwell in the dust, for your dew is a dew of lights, and the earth shall cast out the Rephaim. 20 Go, my people, enter your chambers and shut your doors behind you; hide for a little moment until the wrath passes. 21 For behold, the LORD goes out from his place to visit upon the iniquity of one dwelling in the land upon him, and the land reveals her bloods, and no longer does she cover over her slain ones.
