Isaiah 26:3-12 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

3. Thou wilt keep in perfect peace the mind stayed on thee, for he confideth in thee.

4. Confide ye in Jehovah for ever; for in Jah, Jehovah, is the rock of ages.

5. For he bringeth down them that dwell on high; the lofty city, he layeth it low, he layeth it low to the ground, he bringeth it even to the dust.

6. The foot shall tread it down, --the feet of the afflicted, the steps of the poor.

7. The way of the just is uprightness: thou, the Upright, dost make the path of the just even.

8. Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O Jehovah, have we waited for thee; the desire of our soul is to thy name, and to thy memorial.

9. With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.

10. If favour be shewn to the wicked, he doth not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness he dealeth unjustly, and beholdeth not the majesty of Jehovah.

11. Jehovah, thy hand is lifted up, but they do not see: yet they shall see thy jealousy for the people, and be ashamed; yea, the fire which is for thine adversaries shall devour them.

12. Jehovah, thou wilt ordain peace for us; for thou also hast wrought all our works for us.
