Isaiah 26 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

“Open ^H6605 the gates ^H8179, that the righteous ^H6662 nation ^H1471 may enter ^H935,

The one that [fn]remains ^H8104 faithful ^H529.

“The steadfast ^H5564 of mind ^H3336 You will keep ^H5341 in perfect ^H7965 peace ^H7965,

Because ^H3588 he trusts ^H982 in You.

“Trust ^H982 in the LORD ^H3068 forever ^H5703,

For in [fn]GOD ^H3050 the LORD ^H3068, we have an everlasting ^H5769 Rock ^H6697.

“For He has brought ^H7817 low ^H7817 those who dwell ^H3427 on high ^H4791, the unassailable ^H7682 city ^H7151;

He lays ^H8213 it low ^H8213, He lays ^H8213 it low ^H8213 to the ground ^H776, He casts ^H5060 it to the dust ^H6083.

“The foot ^H7272 will trample ^H7429 it,

The feet ^H7272 of the poor ^H6041, the steps ^H6471 of the helpless ^H1800.”

The way ^H734 of the righteous ^H6662 is smooth ^H4339;

O Upright ^H3477 One ^H3477, make ^H6424 the path ^H4570 of the righteous ^H6662 level ^H6424.

Indeed ^H637, while following the way ^H734 of Your judgments ^H4941, LORD ^H3068,

We have waited ^H6960 for You eagerly ^H6960;

Your name ^H8034, and remembering ^H2143 You, is the desire ^H8378 of our souls ^H5315.

At night ^H3915 [fn]my soul ^H5315 longs ^H183 for You,

Indeed ^H637, [fn]my spirit ^H7307 within ^H7130 me seeks ^H7836 You diligently ^H7836;

For when ^H834 the earth ^H776 [fn]experiences Your judgments ^H4941,

The inhabitants ^H3427 of the world ^H8398 learn ^H3925 righteousness ^H6664.

Though the wicked ^H7563 person ^H7563 is shown ^H2603 compassion ^H2603,

He does not learn ^H3925 righteousness ^H6664;

He deals ^H5765 unjustly ^H5765 in the land ^H776 of uprightness ^H5228,

And does not perceive ^H7200 the majesty ^H1348 of the LORD ^H3068.

LORD ^H3068, Your hand ^H3027 is lifted ^H7311 up ^H7311, yet they do not see ^H2372 it.

[fn]They see ^H2372 Your zeal ^H7068 for the people ^H5971 and are put ^H954 to ^H954 shame ^H954;

Indeed ^H637, [fn]fire ^H784 will devour ^H398 Your enemies ^H6862.

LORD ^H3068, You will establish ^H8239 peace ^H7965 for us,

Since ^H3588 You have also ^H1571 performed ^H6466 for us all ^H3605 our works ^H4639.

LORD ^H3068, our God ^H430, other masters ^H113 besides ^H2108 You have ruled ^H1166 us;

But through You alone ^H905 we [fn]confess ^H2142 Your name ^H8034.

The dead ^H4191 will not live ^H2421, the [fn]departed ^H7496 spirits ^H7496 will not rise ^H6965;

Therefore ^H3651 You have punished ^H6485 and destroyed ^H8045 them,

And You have eliminated ^H6 all ^H3605 remembrance ^H2143 of them.

You have increased ^H3254 the nation ^H1471, LORD ^H3068,

You have increased ^H3254 the nation ^H1471, You are glorified ^H3513;

You have extended ^H7368 all ^H3605 the borders ^H7099 of the land ^H776.

LORD ^H3068, they sought ^H6485 You in distress ^H6862;

They [fn]could only whisper ^H6694 H3908 a prayer ^H3908,

Your discipline ^H4148 was upon them.

As the pregnant ^H2030 woman ^H2030 approaches ^H7126 the time to give ^H3205 birth ^H3205,

She writhes ^H2342 and cries ^H2199 out ^H2199 in her labor ^H2256 pains ^H2256;

This ^H3651 is ^H3651 how ^H3651 we were before ^H4480 H6440 You, LORD ^H3068.

We were ^H2029 pregnant ^H2029, we writhed ^H2342 in labor,

We gave ^H3205 birth ^H3205, as it seems, only to wind ^H7307.

We could not accomplish ^H6213 deliverance ^H3444 for the earth ^H776,

Nor ^H1077 were inhabitants ^H3427 of the world ^H8398 [fn]born ^H5307.

Your dead ^H4191 will live ^H2421;

[fn]Their corpses ^H5038 will rise ^H6965.

You who lie ^H7931 in ^H7931 the dust ^H6083, awake ^H6974 and shout ^H7442 for ^H7442 joy ^H7442,

For your dew ^H2919 is as the dew ^H2919 of the [fn]dawn ^H219,

And the earth ^H776 will [fn]give ^H5307 birth ^H5307 to the [fn]departed ^H7496 spirits ^H7496.

Come ^H1980, my people ^H5971, enter ^H935 your rooms ^H2315

And close ^H5462 your doors ^H1817 behind ^H1157 you;

Hide ^H2247 for a little ^H4592 [fn]while ^H7281

Until ^H5704 indignation ^H2195 [fn]runs ^H5674 its course ^H5674.

For behold ^H2009, the LORD ^H3068 is about to come ^H3318 out ^H3318 from His place ^H4725

To punish ^H6485 the inhabitants ^H3427 of the earth ^H776 for their wrongdoing ^H5771;

And the earth ^H776 will reveal ^H1540 her bloodshed ^H1818

And will no ^H3808 longer ^H5750 cover ^H3680 her slain ^H2026.
