Isaiah
Chapters 26:2-8
Revised Version 1885
2Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth truth may enter in.
3Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
4Trust ye in the Lord for ever: for in the Lord JEHOVAH is an everlasting rock.
5For he hath brought down them that dwell on high, the lofty city: he layeth it low, he layeth it low even to the ground; he bringeth it even to the dust.
6The foot shall tread it down; even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy.
7The way of the just is uprightness: thou that art up right dost direct the path of the just.
8Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O Lord, have we waited for thee; to thy name and to thy memorial is the desire of our soul.
