Isaiah 26

2 Open the gates
that the righteous nation may enter,
the nation that keeps faith.

3 You will keep in perfect peace
him whose mind is steadfast,
because he trusts in you.

4 Trust in the LORD forever,
for the LORD, the LORD, is the Rock eternal...

7 The path of the righteous is level;
O upright One, you make the way of the righteous smooth.

8 Yes, LORD, walking in the way of your laws, [a]
we wait for you;
your name and renown
are the desire of our hearts.

9 My soul yearns for you in the night;
in the morning my spirit longs for you.
When your judgments come upon the earth,
the people of the world learn righteousness...

11 O LORD, your hand is lifted high,
but they do not see it.
Let them see your zeal for your people and be put to shame...

12 LORD, you establish peace for us;
all that we have accomplished you have done for us...

15 You have enlarged the nation, O LORD;
you have enlarged the nation.
You have gained glory for yourself;
you have extended all the borders of the land.

Awesome God, you are worthy of all my praise. I honor you and lift you up. I glorify your name and praise you. You have done me well O Lord. You have done me well. Be exalted in my life forever.
