Isaiah 26:1-6

International Standard Version

The Song of Redeemed Judah

26 At that time,^[a] people will sing this song^[b] in the land of Judah:

“We have a strong city;
    God crafts victory,
        its walls and ramparts.^[c]
²Open your^[d] gates,
    so the righteous nation that safeguards its faith may enter.
³You will keep perfectly peaceful^[e]
    the one whose mind remains focused on you,
        because he remains^[f] in you.

⁴“Trust in the Lord forever,
    for in the Lord God^[g] you have an everlasting rock.
⁵For he has made drunk^[h]
    the inhabitants of the height,
        the lofty city.
He lays it low^[i] to the ground
casting it down to the dust,
⁶by the feet of the oppressed who trample it,^[j]
by the footsteps of the needy.^[k]
