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; salvation will God appoint for walls and bulwarks.

2 Open [the] gates so it may enter a nation righteous [which] keeps faithfulness.

Open all of you the gates, that the righteous nation which keeps the truth may enter in.

3 An inclination firm you will keep peace - peace for in you [he is] trusting.

You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on you: because he trusts in you.

4 Trust in Yahweh until perpetuity for [is] Yahweh Yahweh a rock of everlastingness.

Trust all of you in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:

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 brings down them that dwell on high; the lofty city, he lays it low; he lays it low, even to the ground; he brings 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 uprightness: you, most upright, do weigh 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 your judgments, O LORD, have we waited for you; the desire of our soul is to your name, and to the remembrance of you.

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 you in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek you early: for when your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will 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 showed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, 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, when your hand is lifted up, they will not see: but they shall see, and be ashamed for their envy at the people; yea, the fire of your enemies shall devour them.

12 O Yahweh you will establish peace for us for also all works our you have done for us.

LORD, you will ordain peace for us: for you also have wrought all our works in 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 you have had dominion over us: but by you only will we make mention of your 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.

They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore have you visited 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.

You have increased the nation, O LORD, you have increased the nation: you are glorified: you had removed it far unto all the 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 visited you, they poured out a prayer when your 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 a woman with child, that draws near the time of her delivery, is in pain, and cries out in her pangs; so have we been in your sight, 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 earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.

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.

Your dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, all of you that dwell in dust: for your dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.

20 Come O people my go in rooms your and shut (door your *QK) behind you hide like a little of a moment until (it has passed by *Qk) indignation.

Come, my people, enter you into your chambers, and shut your doors about you: hide yourself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation pass over.

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 comes out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.
