Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 26:1-21

Isaiah 26:1 . When Sennacherib’s army was slain, the Hebrews could sing, We have a strong city; yea, a city stronger than Jerusalem. God is our refuge, a very present help in time of trouble.

The Biblical Illustrator - Isaiah 26:4

It implies an acquiescence or submission to the will of God, whatever it may be--trusting in Him, assured that He is doing, and will do, what is right. This was the spirit of Eli of old, who, though under great family trial, still said, “It is the Lord; let Him do what seemeth Him good.” This was the spirit of the patriarch Job, who under all his trials could say, “Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him.” 2. It... read more

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace. ] Heb., Peace, peace - that is, a multiplied peace with God, with himself, and with others; or a renewed, continued peace, or a perfect, sheer, pure peace, as one senseth it.
