Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 26:1-4

The Song Of Deliverance And The Strong City (Isaiah 26:1-4 ). The first four verses of chapter 26 with their description of the strong city of God with its walls and bulwarks of salvation, which is for the righteous who hold the truth to enter, connect back to Isaiah 25:9, and are in contrast with Isaiah 25:10-12.

Isaiah 26:1-Psalms : . Memories and Anticipations.— The poem, which is a very elaborate composition, seems to have been written in confident expectation of deliverance, though the actual situation is still one of distress.

He is worthy of trust, for He is an everlasting rock; He has laid low the exalted city, the afflicted Jews trample it under foot. The way of... read more

Isaiah 26:3-4Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on TheePerfect peaceThe Scriptures are full of priceless secrets, and here is one of them--the secret of trust in God as revealed to us in Jesus Christ, as the sole method and means of that peace which we all desire.“Thou shalt keep him in perfect peace”; or, as the original expresses it still more forcibly in its Semitic simplicity, “Thou shalt keep him in peace, peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee.” It is not the promise... read more
