Isaiah 26:1-6

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

26 On that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah:
We have a strong city;
    he sets up victory
    like walls and bulwarks.
² Open the gates,
    so that the righteous nation that keeps faith
    may enter in.
³ Those of steadfast mind you keep in peace—
    in peace because they trust in you.
⁴ Trust in the Lord forever,
    for in the Lord God^[a]
    you have an everlasting rock.
⁵ For he has brought low
    the inhabitants of the height;
    the lofty city he lays low.
He lays it low to the ground,
    casts it to the dust.
⁶ The foot tramples it,
    the feet of the poor,
    the steps of the needy.
