Isaiah 26:1-9
English Standard Version
2 Open the gates, that the righteous nation that keeps faith may enter in.
3 You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.
4Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord God is an everlasting rock.
5 For he has humbled the inhabitants of the height, the lofty city. He lays it low, lays it low to the ground, casts it to the dust.
6The foot tramples it, the feet of the poor, the steps of the needy."
7The path of the righteous is level; you make level the way of the righteous.
8In the path of your judgments, O Lord, we wait for you; your name and remembrance are the desire of our soul.
9My soul yearns for you in the night; my spirit within me earnestly seeks you. For when your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
