Isaiah 26:13-19

Isaiah 26:13-19

[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 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  of herbs,  and the earth  shall cast out  the dead.
