Isaiah 26

in die illa cantabitur canticum istud in terra Iuda urbs fortitudinis nostrae salvator ponetur in ea murus et antemurale

In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah; We have a strong city; salvation will God appoint for walls and bulwarks.

aperite portas et ingrediatur gens iusta custodiens veritatem

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

vetus error abiit servabis pacem pacem quia in te speravimus

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

sperastis in Domino in saeculis aeternis in Domino Deo forti in perpetuum

Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:

quia incurvabit habitantes in excelso civitatem sublimem humiliabit humiliabit eam usque ad terram detrahet eam usque ad pulverem

For he bringeth 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.

conculcabit eam pes pedes pauperis gressus egenorum

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

semita iusti recta est rectus callis iusti ad ambulandum

The way of the just is uprightness: thou, most upright, dost weigh the path of the just.

et in semita iudiciorum tuorum Domine sustinuimus te nomen tuum et memoriale tuum in desiderio animae

Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O LORD, have we waited for thee; the desire of our soul is to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee.

anima mea desideravit te in nocte sed et spiritu meo in praecordiis meis de mane vigilabo ad te cum feceris iudicia tua in terra iustitiam discent habitatores orbis

With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.

misereamur impio et non discet iustitiam in terra sanctorum inique gessit et non videbit gloriam Domini

Let favour be shewed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the LORD.

Domine exaltetur manus tua et non videant videant et confundantur zelantes populi et ignis hostes tuos devoret

LORD, when thy hand is lifted up, they will not see: but they shall see, and be ashamed for their envy at the people; yea, the fire of thine enemies shall devour them.

Domine dabis pacem nobis omnia enim opera nostra operatus es nobis

LORD, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought all our works in us.

Domine Deus noster possederunt nos domini absque te tantum in te recordemur nominis tui

O LORD our God, other lords beside thee have had dominion over us: but by thee only will we make mention of thy name.

morientes non vivant gigantes non resurgant propterea visitasti et contrivisti eos et perdidisti omnem memoriam eorum

They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish.

indulsisti genti Domine indulsisti genti numquid glorificatus es elongasti omnes terminos terrae

Thou hast increased the nation, O LORD, thou hast increased the nation: thou art glorified: thou hadst removed it far unto all the ends of the earth.

Domine in angustia requisierunt te in tribulatione murmuris doctrina tua eis

LORD, in trouble have they visited thee, they poured out a prayer when thy chastening was upon them.

sicut quae concipit cum adpropinquaverit ad partum dolens clamat in doloribus suis sic facti sumus a facie tua Domine

Like as a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain, and crieth out in her pangs; so have we been in thy sight, O LORD.

concepimus et quasi parturivimus et peperimus spiritum salutes non fecimus in terra ideo non ceciderunt habitatores terrae

We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.

vivent mortui tui interfecti mei resurgent expergiscimini et laudate qui habitatis in pulvere quia ros lucis ros tuus et terram gigantum detrahes in ruinam

Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.

vade populus meus intra in cubicula tua claude ostia tua super te abscondere modicum ad momentum donec pertranseat indignatio

Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.

ecce enim Dominus egreditur de loco suo ut visitet iniquitatem habitatoris terrae contra eum et revelabit terra sanguinem suum et non operiet ultra interfectos suos

For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.
