Isaiah 26:1-6 English Standard Version (ESV)

1. In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah:“We have a strong city;he sets up salvationas walls and bulwarks.

2. Open the gates,that the righteous nation that keeps faith may enter in.

3. You keep him in perfect peacewhose mind is stayed on you,because he trusts in you.

4. Trust in the Lord forever,for the Lord God is an everlasting rock.

5. For he has humbledthe inhabitants of the height,the lofty city.He lays it low, lays it low to the ground,casts it to the dust.

6. The foot tramples it,the feet of the poor,the steps of the needy.”
