We Have a Strong City — Isaiah 26:1–6

In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah:

We have a strong city; salvation will he appoint for walls and bulwarks.

Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth faith may enter in.

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee; because he trusteth in thee.

Trust ye in Jehovah for ever; for in Jehovah, even Jehovah, is an everlasting rock.

For he hath brought down them that dwell on high, the lofty city: he layeth it low, he layeth it low even to the ground; he bringeth it even to the dust.

The foot shall tread it down; even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy.
