Isaiah 26
1In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah; We have a strong city; salvation will <add>God</add> appoint <add>for</add> walls and bulwarks.2Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in.3Thou wilt keep <add>him</add> in perfect peace, <add>whose</add> mind <add>is</add> stayed <add>on thee:</add> because he trusteth in thee.4Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH <add>is</add> everlasting strength:
5For he bringeth down them that dwell on high; the lofty city, he layeth it low; he layeth it low, <add>even</add> to the ground; he bringeth it <add>even</add> to the dust.6The foot shall tread it down, <add>even</add> the feet of the poor, <add>and</add> the steps of the needy.7The way of the just <add>is</add> uprightness: thou, most upright, dost weigh the path of the just.8Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O LORD, have we waited for thee; the desire of <add>our</add> soul <add>is</add> to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee.9With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments <add>are</add> in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.10Let favour be shewed to the wicked, <add>yet</add> will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the LORD.11LORD, <add>when</add> thy hand is lifted up, they will not see: <add>but</add> they shall see, and be ashamed for <add>their</add> envy at the people; yea, the fire of thine enemies shall devour them.
12LORD, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought all our works in us.13O LORD our God, <add>other</add> lords besides thee have had dominion over us: <add>but</add> by thee only will we make mention of thy name.14<add>They are</add> dead, they shall not live; <add>they are</add> deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish.15Thou hast increased the nation, O LORD, thou hast increased the nation: thou art glorified: thou hadst removed <add>it</add> far <add>unto</add> all the ends of the earth.16LORD, in trouble have they visited thee, they poured out a prayer <add>when</add> thy chastening <add>was</add> upon them.17Like as a woman with child, <add>that</add> draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain, <add>and</add> crieth out in her pangs; so have we been in thy sight, O LORD.18We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.19Thy dead <add>men</add> shall live, <add>together with</add> my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew <add>is as</add> the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.
20Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.21For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.
5For he bringeth down them that dwell on high; the lofty city, he layeth it low; he layeth it low, <add>even</add> to the ground; he bringeth it <add>even</add> to the dust.6The foot shall tread it down, <add>even</add> the feet of the poor, <add>and</add> the steps of the needy.7The way of the just <add>is</add> uprightness: thou, most upright, dost weigh the path of the just.8Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O LORD, have we waited for thee; the desire of <add>our</add> soul <add>is</add> to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee.9With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments <add>are</add> in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.10Let favour be shewed to the wicked, <add>yet</add> will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the LORD.11LORD, <add>when</add> thy hand is lifted up, they will not see: <add>but</add> they shall see, and be ashamed for <add>their</add> envy at the people; yea, the fire of thine enemies shall devour them.
12LORD, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought all our works in us.13O LORD our God, <add>other</add> lords besides thee have had dominion over us: <add>but</add> by thee only will we make mention of thy name.14<add>They are</add> dead, they shall not live; <add>they are</add> deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish.15Thou hast increased the nation, O LORD, thou hast increased the nation: thou art glorified: thou hadst removed <add>it</add> far <add>unto</add> all the ends of the earth.16LORD, in trouble have they visited thee, they poured out a prayer <add>when</add> thy chastening <add>was</add> upon them.17Like as a woman with child, <add>that</add> draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain, <add>and</add> crieth out in her pangs; so have we been in thy sight, O LORD.18We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.19Thy dead <add>men</add> shall live, <add>together with</add> my dead body shall they arise.
