Isaiah - ch 26 v 1 - 20
- In that day sung is this song in the land of Judah: `We have a strong city, Salvation He doth make walls and bulwark.
- Open ye the gates, that enter may a righteous nation, Preserving stedfastness.
- An imagination supported Thou fortifiest peace -- peace! For in Thee it is confident.
- Trust ye in Jehovah for ever, For in Jah Jehovah `is' a rock of ages,
- For He bowed down the dwellers on high, A city set on high He maketh low, He maketh it low unto the earth, He causeth it to come unto the dust,
- Tread it down doth a foot, Feet of the poor -- steps of the weak.
- The path for the righteous `is' uprightness, O upright One, The path of the righteous Thou dost ponder.
- Also, `in' the path of Thy judgments, O Jehovah, we have waited `for' Thee, To Thy name and to Thy remembrance `Is' the desire of the soul.
- `With' my soul I desired Thee in the night, Also, `with' my spirit within me I seek Thee earnestly, For when Thy judgments `are' on the earth, The inhabitants of the world have learned righteousness.
- The wicked findeth favour, He hath not learned righteousness, In a land of straightforwardness he dealeth perversely, And seeth not the excellency of Jehovah.
- O Jehovah, high `is' Thy hand -- they see not, They see the zeal of the people, and are ashamed, Also, the fire -- Thine adversaries, consumeth them.
- O Jehovah, Thou appointest peace to us, For, all our works also Thou hast wrought for us.
- O Jehovah our God, lords have ruled us besides Thee, Only, by Thee we make mention of Thy name.
- Dead -- they live not, Rephaim, they rise not, Therefore Thou hast inspected and dost destroy them, Yea, thou destroyest all their memory.
- Thou hast added to the nation, O Jehovah, Thou hast added to the nation, Thou hast been honoured, Thou hast put far off all the ends of earth.
- O Jehovah, in distress they missed Thee, They have poured out a whisper, Thy chastisement `is' on them.
- When a pregnant woman cometh near to the birth, She is pained -- she crieth in her pangs, So we have been from Thy face, O Jehovah.
- We have conceived, we have been pained. We have brought forth as it were wind, Salvation we do not work in the earth, Nor do the inhabitants of the world fall.
- `Thy dead live -- My dead body they rise. Awake and sing, ye dwellers in the dust, For the dew of herbs `is' thy dew, And the land of Rephaim thou causest to fall.
- Come, My people, enter into thy inner chambers, And shut thy doors behind thee, Hide thyself shortly a moment till the indignation pass over.
