以赛亚书 26:2-4 CUNPSS

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 26:2

Open ye the gates . The command is given by God to his angels within the city, or perhaps by some angels to others, to "open the gates," and let the saints march in and take possession (comp. Psalms 118:19 , Psalms 118:20 , which seems to represent the same occasion; and Psalms 24:7-10 , which tells of another occasion on which the angelic warders were bidden to throw open the gates of the celestial city. The righteous nation which keepeth the truth ; literally, a righteous nation ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 26:3

Thou wilt keep him , etc.; literally, the steadfast mind thou wilt keep in peace , in peace ; i.e. "in perfect peace" (comp. Psalms 112:7 , Psalms 112:8 ). The writer's mind throughout the first paragraph of his" song" ( Isaiah 26:1-4 )"is running" (as Mr. Cheyne well observes) "on the security and immovableness of the new Jerusalem." All is peace and sure defense on God's side; all is trust and perfect confidence on the side of man. The first words of the verse may be taken in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 26:3

Perfect peace out of trust. Literally, "Peace, peace;" the Hebrew superlative form meaning the "greatest, or perfect peace"—inward peace, outward peace, peace with God, peace of conscience, peace at all times, under all events, God's own peace, the peace which God's own Son knew, and left as his legacy to his disciples. These two last expressions give us two divisions for our subject. I. GOD GIVES THOSE WHO TRUST HIM HIS OWN PEACE . 1. God ' s peace is the result... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 26:4

Trust ye in the Lord . The faithful exhort each other to perfect trust, in the new Jerusalem, as in the old (see Psalms 115:9-11 ). In the Lord Jehovah ; literally, in Jah Jehorah (comp. Isaiah 12:2 ). Is everlasting strength ; literally, is the Rock of ages . A certain refuge throughout all eternity is, no doubt, intended (see the comment on Isaiah 17:10 ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 26:4

The call to continuous trust. "Trust ye in the Lord forever ." The words "forever" in the prophetical books are a figure for "always," "continuously," under all conditions; even in times when trust seems to have no foundations we may keep on trusting, because our trust really is in God. I. WE CANNOT KEEP ON TRUSTING IF OUR TRUST IS IN THINGS . "The fashion of this world passeth away;" "Here we have no abiding city; Moth and rust corrupt, and thieves break... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 26:2

Open ye the gates - This is probably the language of a chorus responding to the sentiment in Isaiah 26:1. The captive people are returning; and this cry is made that the gates of the city may be thrown open, and that they may be permitted to enter without obstruction (compare Psalms 24:7, Psalms 24:9; Psalms 118:19).That the righteous nation which keepeth the truth - Who, during their long captivity and contact with pagan nations, have not apostatized from the true religion, but have adhered... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 26:3

Thou wilt keep him - The following verses to Isaiah 26:11, contain moral and religious reflections, and seem designed to indicate the resignation evinced by the ‘righteous nation’ during their long afflictions. Their own feelings they are here represented as uttering in the form of general truths to be sources of consolation to others.In perfect peace - Hebrew as in the Margin, ‘Peace, peace;’ the repetition of the word denoting, as is usual in Hebrew, emphasis, and here evidently meaning... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 26:4

Trust ye in the Lord for ever - The sense is, ‘Let your confidence in God on no occasion fail. Let no calamity, no adversity, no persecution, no poverty, no trial of any kind, prevent your reposing entire confidence in him.’ This is spoken evidently in view of the fact stated in the previous verse, that the mind that is stayed on him shall have perfect peace.For in the Lord Jehovah - ‘This is one of the four places where our translators have retained the original word Yahweh (compare Exodus... read more

Isaiah 26:1-2. In that day When God shall do such glorious works for the comfort of his people, as are described in the foregoing chapter; shall this song be sung in the land of Judah In the church of God, often signified by the titles of Judah, Jerusalem, Zion, and the like.

Isaiah 26:3-4. Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace Hebrew, in peace, peace; peace with God, and peace of conscience; peace at all times, and under all events; whose mind is stayed on thee Hebrew, יצר סמוךְ , the thought, or, mind fixed, or, the stayed mind, as Bishop Lowth renders it; that is, the man whose thoughts and mind are fixed and settled on thee by faith, as the next clause explains it.
