Isaiah 26: Yshua, our wall and protection, brings a righteous unbelieving nation to His City whilst a global citizen’s city is felled to dust (Hide in your bedroom till His Indignation crosses over).

1: In that day, The Song  is caused to be sung in this, Judah’s land strong city:

Yshua is established – protective walls and a fortress – for us.

2: Gates – Open! A Righteous unbelieving nation enters keeping (watch on) fidelity,

3: upholding paradigms.

You keep peace.

Peace for (because of) trusting in You.

4: Trust in Yehoweh to unending end. For in A Being (Yah) (is) Yehoweh, a cliff, eternities.

5: For a lofty native citizenry, He causes to be humbled,

He causes an exalted city, to be laid low.

He causes her to be laid low to the ground.

He causes her to be laid hands upon to the dust.

6: She creeps a foot on the foot of the depressed, the footsteps of the weak.

7: You weigh up trodden paths  in just fairness – a fair, just track circuit.

8: Indeed, a trodden path in your judgement-collection, Yehoweh.  

We waited hopefully for You.

A soul craving for Your Name and for Your Memory –

9: My soul craving You in the night.

Indeed, my spirit within me seeking You (shakar aso means day-break)  for when a global citizen learnt that Your judgement-collection on earth (is) right.

10: The wicked (punishable) did not learn righteousness from being given mercy.

He does wrong with uprightness in the land and does not look at Yehoweh’s majesty.

Stop!

11: Yehoweh, You exalted Your Hand. They do not envision it. They envision and they are ashamed by people’s jealousy. Yes, the fire of Your oppressors (tsar*) consume them.

Stop!

12: Yehoweh, You locate peace for us. For also You have done all our work for us.

13: Yehoweh, our God (Elohim) husbanded/mastered (baal) us excluding other lords (adon) – only by You are we remembered by Your Name.

14: Dead, not living are they. Resting spirits (*also rapha!) not raised up are they. So You appointed to hold to account and You are causing them to be destroyed and ruin all memory of them.

15: You increased to an unbelieving nation, Yehoweh. 

You increased to an unbelieving nation.

You are glorified.

You made all the land borders (ketsev – weary ie tired of how far to go) far away.

16: Yehoweh, in oppression they appointed You to hold to account, they poured out incantations. Your discipline was on them.

17: As a pregnancy nears delivery, writhing and crying out in pain, so are we in front of You, Yehoweh.

18: We were pregnant, we were writhing like to deliver a spirit of Yshua’s not being made on earth and not being felled by global citizens.

19: It happens that your dead and my corpse arises, caused to rudely startled awake and sing!

“Permanent dwellers of dust

For the dew(drop) light is your dew.

And earth’s resting spirits (*rapha) are made to lie down.”

Stop!

20: Walk, My people. Go/come to your bedroom and close the batwing doors behind you. Hide for a little wink till indignation crosses over.

21: For, behold, Yehoweh, comes forth to appoint to hold to account earth’s inhabitants for their punishable guilt.

The earth uncovers her blood.

And no cover anymore for her slain.

Stop!

Prayer: Lord, our wall and protector. Who is this unbelieving nation brought to Your city who has upheld peace, righteousness and whose borders You increased? And there is no cover and no rest for wicked oppressive global citizens – whether dead or alive! You have done our work for us. Thank You Lord and our Master whose Name we are known by. Hallelujah!
