Isaiah 26: Perfect Peace

Isaiah wrote a song that would be sung in Judah about a strong city whose gates open for the righteous nation that keeps faith. God keeps in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in him. Isaiah urged everyone to trust in Yahweh forever, for he is an everlasting Rock. He described seeking God in the night and waiting for him. Other lords had ruled over the people, but they would remember only God's name. Isaiah gave a promise: Your dead shall live. He told God's people to hide for a little while until God's anger passed.
