Isaiah 26:6-16

Isaiah 26:6-16

[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  [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  [11] LORD,  when thy hand  is lifted up,  they will not 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.
