Isaiah 26:3-4

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 26:1-10

Peace through Steadfast Trust Isaiah 26:1-10 No doubt when Babylon fell before Cyrus the Jewish remnant under Ezra and Nehemiah sang this triumphal ode, which contrasts the respective lots of Babylon and Jerusalem. The one is the city of this world and its children; the other the city and home of the saints. The fate of Babylon is delineated in Isaiah 26:5-6 ; but with what glowing words does the prophet dwell on the blessedness of those who are fellow-citizens with the saints and of the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 26:1-21

Naturally following this prophecy of praise for the activity of Jehovah is the great song which will be sung in the day of Jehovah's ultimate victory. It is praise for the establishment of the city, and for deliverance. The deep secret of the new condition is the secret of the mind stayed on Jehovah. In Him is the Rock of Ages. He has overcome enemies and established the just. The song merges into one of praise for this Jehovah. Other lords have had dominion, but it is Jehovah who has... read more

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. But they may also be contrasted with the lofty city of Isaiah 26:5, which stands proudly on its summit but will be dragged to the ground. They thus connect the previous passage with... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 26:1-19

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. Jerusalem has been made impregnable, let the righteous enter in. The unwavering mind is kept by God in unbroken peace ( cf. mg.) . 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

Heb. The fixed thought or mind (i.e. the man whose mind and thoughts are fixed and settled upon thee by faith as the next clause explains it, the qualifications being put for the person so qualified, as folly and wisdom are put for a fool and a wise man, Proverbs 24:9; Micah 6:9, and peace for a man of peace, Psalms 120:7) thou wilt keep in peace, peace, i.e. in all manner of peace, in constant and perfect peace.
