Isaiah 26:1-6

Modern English Version

We have a strong city;
    He appoints walls
    and bulwarks for security.
² Open the gates,
    that the righteous nation may enter,
    the one who remains faithful.
³ You will keep him in perfect peace,
    whose mind is stayed on You,
    because he trusts in You.
⁴ Trust in the Lord forever,
    for in God the Lord we have an everlasting rock.
⁵ For He brings down those who 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 The foot shall tread it down,
    even the feet of the poor
    and the steps of the needy.
