God’s Purpose in Judgment (The People Sing to God)
As we continue our journey read with me Isaiah 26:1-21
26 In that day shall this song be sung in the land of
Judah; We have a strong city; salvation will God appoint for walls and
bulwarks.
2 Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth
the truth may enter in.
3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on
thee: because he trusteth in thee.
4 Trust ye in the Lord
for ever: for in the Lord Jehovah
is everlasting strength:
5 For he bringeth 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.
6 The foot shall tread it down, even the feet of the poor, and
the steps of the needy.
7 The way of the just is uprightness: thou, most upright, dost
weigh the path of the just.
8 Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O Lord, have we waited for thee; the desire of our soul is to
thy name, and to the remembrance of thee.
9 With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my
spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the
earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.
10 Let favour be shewed to the wicked,
yet will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal
unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the Lord.
11 Lord, when thy hand
is lifted up, they will not see: but they shall see, and be ashamed for their
envy at the people; yea, the fire of thine enemies shall devour them.
12 Lord, thou wilt
ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought all our works in us.
13 O Lord
our God, other lords beside thee have had dominion over us: but by thee only
will we make mention of thy name.
14 They are dead, they shall not live;
they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and
destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish.
15 Thou hast increased the nation, O Lord, thou hast increased the nation:
thou art glorified: thou hadst removed it far unto all the ends of the earth.
16 Lord, in trouble
have they visited thee, they poured out a prayer when thy chastening was upon
them.
17 Like as a woman with child, that
draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain, and crieth out in her pangs;
so have we been in thy sight, O Lord.
18 We 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.
19 Thy dead men shall live, together
with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for
thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.
20 Come, 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.
21 For, 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.
People will praise God on the day of the Lord when Christ
establishes his Kingdom. Chapter 26 is a psalm of trust, praise, and
meditation. Once more God revealed the future to Isaiah.
