Isaiah 26:4–8

TEXT EDITION
Pure Cambridge Edition selected
Trust ye in the Lord for ever: for in the Lord JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:
¶ 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.
The foot shall tread it down, even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy.
The way of the just is uprightness: thou, most upright, dost weigh the path of the just.
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.
