Isaiah 26:1-6

The Voice

People: By the grace of God, our city is strong;
        its structures and defenses He made secure.
²     Now open the gates to welcome the righteous,
        so that those who keep faith may enter in.
³     You will keep the peace, a perfect peace, for all who trust in You,
        for those who dedicate their hearts and minds to You.
⁴     So trust in the Eternal One forever,
        for He is like a great Rock—strong, stable, trustworthy, and lasting.
⁵     He humbles the high and mighty.
        Even the indomitable city falls before His strength, reducing it to dust.
⁶     The feet of the poor, the weak, the infirm and forgotten
        will trample the dust of the formerly great.
