Isa 26
1 A Song of Deliverance
In that day they shall sing this song upon
the land of Judea, Behold, [
2city
1a strong]; and [
2our deliverance
1he shall establish] for the wall and rampart.
2Open O gates! Enter! O people guarding righteousness, and guarding truth;
3taking hold of truth, and guarding peace.
4For upon you we hoped, O
LORD unto the eon, the [
3God
1great
2eternal];
5who humbling, he led down the ones dwelling on high. [
3cities
2fortified
1You shall throw down], and lead
them down unto
the ground.
6And [
3will tread
4them
2feet
1gentle] and of humble rostrums.
7The way of
the pious [
2straight
1becomes]; and [
5is being prepared
1the
2way
3of the
4pious].
8For the way of
the LORD is equitable; we hoped upon your name, and upon the remembrance
of you 9which [
2desires
1our soul]. From out of
the night [
2rises early
1my spirit] to you, O God, because [
2are light
1your orders] upon the earth. [
2righteousness
1Learn], O ones dwelling upon the earth!
10[
4ceases
1For
2the
3impious]; in no way should he learn righteousness upon the earth; [
3truth
1no way
2should he execute]. Lift away the impious! that he should not behold the glory of
the LORD.
11O
LORD, [
3is high
1your
2arm], but they did not know; but in knowing they shall be ashamed; zeal shall take hold [
2people
1of an uninstructed]; and now fire [
2the
3adversaries
1shall devour].
12O
LORD our God, [
2peace
1give] to us! for all
things you rendered to us.
13O
LORD our God, acquire us! O
LORD, outside of you
there is no other we know. [
2your name
1We named].
14But the dead [
3life
1in no way
2shall see], nor shall physicians in any way raise them up. On account of this you struck, and destroyed; and you lifted away every male of them.
15Add to them bad
things, O
LORD, add bad
things to the glorious ones of the earth!
16O
LORD, in affliction we remembered you; in [
2affliction
1small] your instruction
is with us.
17And as a
woman travailing approaches to give birth, and over her
birth pangs she cries out, so we were to your beloved.
18Because of the fear of you, O
LORD, [
2in
3the womb
1we conceived], and travailed, and birthed
the breath of your deliverance, which you did upon the earth. We shall not fall, but [
7shall fall
1all
2the ones
3dwelling
4upon
5the
6earth].
19[
3shall rise up
1The
2dead], and [
5shall be raised
1the ones
2in
3the
4sepulchres], and [
5shall be glad
1the ones
2in
3the
4earth], for the dew by you [
2a cure
3to them
1is]; but the land of the impious shall fall.
20Proceed, O my people! Enter into your inner chambers! Lock your door! Be concealed a little! as much as
this, as much as
that, until whenever [
4should go by
1the
2anger
3of the LORD].
21For behold
the LORD [
3from
4the
5holy place
1brings
2anger] upon the ones dwelling upon the earth; and [
3shall uncover
1the
2earth] her blood, and shall not cover up the ones being done away with any more.
