NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

Isaiah 26

Song of Trust in God's Protection

1

 aIn that dayh3117 thish2088 songh7892a will be sungh7891 in the landh776 of Judahh3063: "We have a  bstrongh5797 cityh5892b; He setsh7896 up wallsh2346 and rampartsh2426 for  1 csecurityh3444.

2

"Openh6605a the  agatesh8179, that the  brighteoush6662 nationh1471 may enterh935, The one that  1remainsh8104 faithfulh529.

3

"The steadfasth5564 of mindh3336 You will keeph5341 in perfecth7965  apeaceh7965, Becauseh3588 he trustsh982 in You.

4

aTrusth982 in the LORDh3068 foreverh5703, For in  1GODh3050 the LORDh3068, we have an everlastingh5769  bRockh6697.

5

"For He has broughth7817 lowh7817 those who dwellh3427 on highh4791, the  aunassailableh7682 cityh7151;  bHe laysh8213 it lowh8213, He laysh8213 it lowh8213 to the groundh776, He castsh5060 it to the dusth6083.

6

aThe footh7272 will trampleh7429 it, The feeth7272 of the  bafflictedh6041, the stepsh6471 of the helplessh1800b."

7

The  awayh734 of the righteoush6662 is smoothh4339; O Uprighth3477 Oneh3477,  bmakeh6424 the pathh4570 of the righteoush6662 levelh6424.

8

Indeedh637, while following the wayh734 of  aYour judgmentsh4941, O LORDh3068, We have waitedh6960a for You eagerlyh6960a;  bYour nameh8034, even Your  cmemoryh2143, is the desireh8378 of our soulsh5315.

9

 aAt nighth3915  1my soulh5315 longsh183 for You, Indeedh637,  2my spirith7307 withinh7130 me  bseeksh7836 You diligentlyh7836; For whenh3512c the earthh776  3experiences Your judgmentsh4941 The inhabitantsh3427 of the worldh8398  clearnh3925 righteousnessh6664.

10

Though the wickedh7563 is shownh2603a favorh2603a, He does not  alearnh3925 righteousnessh6664; He  bdealsh5765 unjustlyh5765 in the landh776 of uprightnessh5228, And does not perceiveh7200 the majestyh1348 of the LORDh3068.

11

O LORDh3068, Your handh3027 is liftedh7311 up yet they  ado not seeh2372 it.  1They seeh2372  bYour zealh7068 for the peopleh5971a and are puth954 to shameh954; Indeedh637,  2 cfireh784 will devourh398 Your enemiesh6862c.

12

LORDh3068, You will establishh8239  apeaceh7965 for us, Sinceh3588 You have alsoh1571 performedh6466 for us allh3605 our worksh4639.

13

O LORDh3068 our Godh430,  aother mastersh113 besidesh2108 You have ruledh1166 us; But through You aloneh905 we  1 bconfessh2142 Your nameh8034.

14

 aThe deadh4191 will not liveh2421a, the  1departedh7496 spiritsh7496 will not riseh6965; Thereforeh3651 You have  bpunishedh6485 and destroyedh8045 them, And You have wipedh6 out allh3605 remembranceh2143 of them.

15

 aYou have increasedh3254 the nationh1471, O LORDh3068, You have increasedh3254 the nationh1471, You are glorifiedh3513; You have  bextendedh7368 allh3605 the bordersh7099 of the landh776.

16

O LORDh3068, they soughth6485 You  ain distressh6862b; They  1could only whisperh3908 a prayerh3908, Your chasteningh4148 was upon them.

17

 aAs the pregnanth2030 womanh2030 approachesh7126 the time to giveh3205 birthh3205, She writhesh2342a and criesh2199 out in her laborh2256b painsh2256b, Thush3651 were we beforeh4480h6440 You, O LORDh3068.

18

We were pregnanth2029, we writhedh2342a in labor, We  agaveh3205 birthh3205, as it seems, only to windh7307. We could not accomplishh6213a deliveranceh3444 for the earthh776, Norh1077 were  binhabitantsh3427 of the worldh8398  1bornh5307.

19

Your  adeadh4191 will liveh2421a;  1Their corpsesh5038 will riseh6965. You who lieh7931 in the dusth6083,  bawakeh7019a and shouth7442 for joyh7442, For your dewh2919 is as the dewh2919 of the  2dawnh219a, And the earthh776 will  3giveh5307 birthh5307 to the  4departedh7496 spiritsh7496.

20

Comeh1980, my peopleh5971a,  aenterh935 into your roomsh2315 And closeh5462 your doorsh1802b behindh1157 you; Hideh2247 for a littleh4592  1 bwhileh7281 Untilh5704  cindignationh2195  2runsh5674a its courseh5674a.

21

For beholdh2009, the LORDh3068 is about to  acomeh3318 out from His placeh4725 To  bpunishh6485 the inhabitantsh3427 of the earthh776 for their iniquityh5771; And the earthh776 will  crevealh1540 her bloodshedh1818 And will noh3808 longerh5750 coverh3680 her slainh2026.
