James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Isaiah 26:1-21

JUDGMENT ON GENTILE NATIONS This is a long lesson to read, but the study put upon it need not be proportioned to its length. There is a sameness in the chapters, and their contents are not unlike what we reviewed in the preceding lesson. Note the names of the nations and their contiguity to God’s chosen people. They have come in contact with their history again and again, which is why they are singled out for special mention. It will be well here to review what was said about these Gentile... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Isaiah 26:1-21

The Great Song Isaiah 26:0 There are some songs which cannot be kept to any land. They speak the universal language of human experience and human need, and therefore they are at home everywhere. There may be local tunes, which no one cares to transplant from the place of their origin; but there are other tunes that will cross the sea with you, and haunt the house where you live, and fall in with all the best excitements and holiest aspiration and most joyous movements of the soul. What suits... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 26:3-4

The first of these verses is a blessed promise; and the second is the foundation of the enjoyment of it. Some read the last phrase of it (and indeed the margin of our old Bibles preserve the reading so) "the Lord Jehovah is the rock of Ages." Now as the Holy Ghost taught the Church, through Paul the apostle, expressly so, that the rock which followed Israel, was indeed Christ; we do no violence to the words, but on the contrary, express more fully what they themselves express, when we say, "for... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 26:1-4

1-4 "That day," seems to mean when the New Testament Babylon shall be levelled with the ground. The unchangeable promise and covenant of the Lord are the walls of the church of God. The gates of this city shall be open. Let sinners then be encouraged to join to the Lord. Thou wilt keep him in peace; in perfect peace, inward peace, outward peace, peace with God, peace of conscience, peace at all times, in all events. Trust in the Lord for that peace, that portion, which will be for ever.... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Isaiah 26:1-10

The Church's Song of Praise v. 1. In that day, at the time of the final deliverance of the ransomed of God, shall this song be sung in the land of Judah, by the believers who have been preserved by the power of the Lord: We have a strong city, namely, the city of God, Psalms 46:4, His holy Church; salvation will God appoint for walls and bulwarks, His redemption is established as a strong wall of exterior and interior defense, so that no enemy is able to penetrate inside and take away the... read more

Alexander MacLaren

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Isaiah 26:3-4

Isaiah THE SONG OF TWO CITIES THE INHABITANT OF THE ROCK Isa_26:3 - Isa_26:4 . There is an obvious parallel between these verses and the two preceding ones. The safety which was there set forth as the result of dwelling in the strong city is here presented as the consequence of trust. The emblem of the fortified place passes into that of the Rock of Ages. There is the further resemblance in form, that, just as in the two preceding verses we had the triumphant declaration of security... read more
