Isaiah 26:1-7 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

1. On that day this song shall be sung in the land of Judah:“A strong city have we;he sets up victory as our walls and ramparts.

2. Open up the gatesthat a righteous nation may enter,one that keeps faith.

3. With firm purpose you maintain peace;in peace, because of our trust in you.”

4. Trust in the Lord forever!For the Lord is an eternal Rock.

5. He humbles those who dwell on high,the lofty city he brings down,Brings it down to the ground,levels it to the dust.

6. The feet of the needy trample on it—the feet of the poor.

7. The way of the just is smooth;the path of the just you make level.
