ASV_Strong : Isaiah 26
1. In that day[H3117] shall this song[H7892] be sung[H7891] in the land[H776] of Judah[H3063]: we have a strong[H5797] city[H5892]; salvation[H3444] will he appoint[H7896] for walls[H2346] and bulwarks[H2426].
2. Open[H6605] ye the gates[H8179], that the righteous[H6662] nation[H1471] which keepeth[H8104] faith[H529] may enter in[H935].
3. Thou wilt keep[H5341] him in perfect[H7965] peace[H7965], whose mind[H3336] is stayed[H5564] on thee[H982]; because he trusteth in thee.
4. Trust[H982] ye in Jehovah[H3068] for ever[H5703]; for in Jehovah[H3050], even Jehovah[H3068], is an everlasting[H5769] rock[H6697].
5. For he hath brought down[H7817] them that dwell[H3427] on high[H4791], the lofty[H7682] city[H7151]: he layeth it low[H8213], he layeth it low[H8213] even to the ground[H776]; he bringeth[H5060] it even to the dust[H6083].
6. The foot[H7272] shall tread it down[H7429]; even the feet[H7272] of the poor[H6041], and the steps[H6471] of the needy[H1800].
7. The way[H734] of the just[H6662] is uprightness[H4339]: thou that art upright[H3477] dost direct[H6424] the path[H4570] of the just[H6662].
8. Yea[H734], in the way of thy judgments[H4941], O Jehovah[H3068], have we waited[H6960] for thee[H2143]; to thy name, even to thy memorial name[H8034], is the desire[H8378] of our soul[H5315].
9. With my soul[H5315] have I desired[H183] thee in the night[H3915]; yea[H7307], with my spirit within[H7130] me will I seek thee earnestly[H7836]: for when thy judgments[H4941] are in the earth[H776], the inhabitants[H3427] of the world[H8398] learn[H3925] righteousness[H6664].
10. Let favor be showed[H2603] to the wicked[H7563], yet will he not[H1077] learn[H3925] righteousness[H6664]; in the land[H776] of uprightness[H5229] will he deal wrongfully[H5765], and will not[H1077] behold[H7200] the majesty[H1348] of Jehovah[H3068].
11. Jehovah[H3068], thy hand[H3027] is lifted up[H7311], yet they see[H2372] not[H2372]: but they shall see thy zeal[H7068] for the people[H5971], and be put to shame[H954]; yea[H784], fire shall devour[H398] thine adversaries[H6862].
12. Jehovah[H3068], thou wilt ordain[H8239] peace[H7965] for us[H6466]; for thou hast also wrought all our works for us[H4639].
13. O Jehovah[H3068] our God[H430], other lords[H113] besides[H2108] thee have had dominion[H1166] over us[H2142]; but by thee only will we make mention of thy name[H8034].
14. They are dead[H4191], they shall not live[H2421]; they are deceased[H7496], they shall not rise[H6965]: therefore hast thou visited[H6485] and destroyed[H8045] them[H2143], and made all remembrance of them to perish[H6].
15. Thou hast increased[H3254] the nation[H1471], O Jehovah[H3068], thou hast increased[H3254] the nation[H1471]; thou art glorified[H3513]; thou hast enlarged[H7368] all the borders[H7099] of the land[H776].
16. Jehovah[H3068], in trouble[H6862] have they visited[H6485] thee[H6694]; they poured out a prayer[H3908] when thy chastening was upon them[H4148].
17. Like[H3644] as a woman with child[H2030], that draweth near[H7126] the time of her delivery[H3205], is in pain[H2342] and crieth out[H2199] in her pangs[H2256]; so we have been before[H6440] thee[H3068], O Jehovah.
18. We have been with child[H2029], we have been in pain[H2342], we have as it were[H3644] brought forth[H3205] wind[H7307]; we have not wrought[H6213] any deliverance[H3444] in the earth[H776]; neither[H1077] have the inhabitants[H3427] of the world[H8398] fallen[H5307].
19. Thy dead[H4191] shall live[H2421]; my dead bodies[H5038] shall arise[H6965]. Awake[H6974] and sing[H7442], ye that dwell[H7931] in the dust[H6083]; for thy dew[H2919] is as the dew[H2919] of herbs[H219], and the earth[H776] shall cast forth[H5307] the dead[H7496].
20. Come[H3212], my people[H5971], enter[H935] thou into thy chambers[H2315], and shut[H5462] thy doors[H1817] about thee[H2247]: hide thyself for a little[H4592] moment[H7281], until the indignation[H2195] be overpast[H5674].
21. For[H3068], behold, Jehovah cometh forth out[H3318] of his place[H4725] to punish[H6485] the inhabitants[H3427] of the earth[H776] for their iniquity[H5771]: the earth[H776] also shall disclose[H1540] her blood[H1818], and shall no more cover[H3680] her slain[H2026].
