ISAIAH'S SONG OF PRAISE

 

Isaiah 26

In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah:

We have a strong city;

God makes salvation its walls and ramparts.

Open the gates that the righteous nation may enter,

The nation that keeps faith.

You keep in prefect peace him whose mind is steadfast,

Because he trusts in you.

Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord is the Rock Eternal.

He humbles those who dwell on high, he lays the lofty city low;

He levels it to the ground and casts it down to the dust.

Feet trample it down—the feet of the oppressed,

The footsteps of the poor.

The path of the righteous is level; O upright One,

You make the way of the righteous smooth.

Yes, Lord, walking in the way of Your laws, we wait for You,

Your Name and renown are the desire of our hearts.

My soul yearns for You in the night;

In the morning my spirit longs for You.

When you judgments come upon the earth,

The people of the world learn righteousness.

Though grace is shown to the wicked, they do not learn righteousness;

Even in a land of uprightness they go on doing evil

And regard not the majesty of the Lord.

O Lord Your hand is lifted high, but they do not see it.

Let them see the zeal for Your people and be put to shame;

Let the fire reserved for Your enemies consume them.

Lord, You establish peace for us;

All that we have accomplished You have done for us.

O Lord, our God, other lords besides you have ruled over us.

But Your Name alone do we honor.

They are now dead, they live no more;

Those departed spirits do not rise.

You punish them and brought them to ruin.

You wipe out all memory of them.

You have enlarged the nation,

O Lord; You have enlarged the nation.

You have gained Glory for Yourself;

You have extended all the borders of the land.

Lord, they came to You in their distress;

When you disciplined them, they could barely whisper a prayer.

As a woman with child and about to give birth writhes

And cries out in her pain, so were we in Your Presence, O Lord.

We were with child, we writhed in pain, but we gave birth to wind.

We have not brought salvation to the earth;

We have not given birth to people of the world.

But Your dead will live; their bodies will rise.

You who dwell in the dust, your dew is like the dew of the morning;

The earth will give birth to her dead.

Go, my people, enter your rooms

And shut the doors behind you;

Hide yourselves for a little while

Until His wrath has passed by.

See, the Lord is coming out of His dwelling

To punish the people of the earth for their sins.

The earth will disclose the blood shed upon her;

She will conceal her slain no longer.

(Isaiah 26)

As we watch the godless nations of the earth

Writhe about in their wickedness

Those who trust in God, whose minds are steadfast,

Are kept in perfect peace.

All the prideful and arrogant will be humbled,

Their cities brought low;

Leveled to the ground and trampled upon.

The path of the righteous is level and smooth.

They walk in Covenant with the Lord.

Upholding the Name and honor of God is their hearts desire.

His Name is: Lord Jesus Christ!

Our souls yearn for the Lord night and day.

God's judgments on the people of the earth

Cause them to learn righteousness,

But the wicked never learn.

They go on doing evil

And have no regard for the Majesty of the Lord.

Today, the hand of the Lord is lifted high,

But the wicked do not see it.

Yet, they will see it, and the Fire of God will consume them.

All memory of the wicked will be wiped out, forever!

Soon, the Lord will enlarge His Nation,

The Israel of God!

It will include people from every nation on earth.

All the people of God have accomplished

Has been done through Christ.

Soon, we will be sent to our rooms

While God devastates the earth;

Until His wrath and justice are satisfied

And the wicked are no more.

The people of the earth will be punished for their sins.

ALL the blood they have shed

Will be disclosed, her slain exposed.

Today, the World is Raging against God,

Rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)

America is being ground to powder

Because of her SIN against God.

Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)

As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!

Father, Your Kingdom come, Your will be done,

On earth as in Heaven!
