Isaiah 26:1-6

Common English Bible

26 On that day, this song will be sung in the land of Judah:
Ours is a strong city!
    God makes salvation its walls and ramparts.
² Open the gates and let a righteous nation enter,
    a nation that keeps faith.
³ Those with sound thoughts you will keep in peace,
    in peace because they trust in you.
⁴ Trust in the Lord forever,
    for the Lord is a rock for all ages.
⁵ He has thrown down those living on high,
    and he will level the lofty town,
    leveling it down to the earth;
    he will bring it down to dust.
⁶ The feet trample it,
    the feet of the poor,
    the steps of the needy.
