Isaiah 26:1-9

In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah:
We have a strong city;
salvation is established as its walls and ramparts

Open the gates so a righteous nation may enter—
one that remains faithful.

You will keep in perfect peace the steadfast of mind,
because he trusts in You.

Trust in the LORD forever,
because GOD the LORD is the Rock eternal.

For He has humbled those who dwell on high;
He lays the lofty city low.
He brings it down to the ground;
He casts it into the dust.

Feet trample it down—
the feet of the oppressed,
the steps of the poor.

The path of the righteous is level;
You clear a straight path for the upright.

Yes, we wait for You, O LORD;
we walk in the path of Your judgments.
Your name and renown
are the desire of our souls.

My soul longs for You in the night;
indeed, my spirit seeks You at dawn.
For when Your judgments come upon the earth,
the people of the world learn righteousness.
