James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Isaiah 26:1-21

JUDGMENT ON GENTILE NATIONS This is a long lesson to read, but the study put upon it need not be proportioned to its length. There is a sameness in the chapters, and their contents are not unlike what we reviewed in the preceding lesson. Note the names of the nations and their contiguity to God’s chosen people. They have come in contact with their history again and again, which is why they are singled out for special mention. It will be well here to review what was said about these Gentile... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Isaiah 26:1-21

The Great Song Isaiah 26:0 There are some songs which cannot be kept to any land. They speak the universal language of human experience and human need, and therefore they are at home everywhere. There may be local tunes, which no one cares to transplant from the place of their origin; but there are other tunes that will cross the sea with you, and haunt the house where you live, and fall in with all the best excitements and holiest aspiration and most joyous movements of the soul. What suits... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 26:5-7

These are plain, but very gracious expressions. The Lord's people may be, indeed the Lord's people will be, humbled, and brought under humbling providences; but Jesus weigheth out to them in measure all that is needful for them, and no more. And as to their oppressors, Jesus seeth them all, and knoweth them all, and keeps an account of all their malice. And woe unto them when God ariseth to punish. Psalms 12:5 . read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 26:5-11

5-11 The way of the just is evenness, a steady course of obedience and holy conversation. And it is their happiness that God makes their way plain and easy. It is our duty, and will be our comfort, to wait for God, to keep up holy desires toward him in the darkest and most discouraging times. Our troubles must never turn us from God; and in the darkest, longest night of affliction, with our souls must we desire him; and this we must wait and pray to him for. We make nothing of our religion,... read more

The Church's Song of Praise v. 1.

Alexander MacLaren

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Isaiah 26:5-10

Isaiah THE SONG OF TWO CITIES Isa_26:1 - Isa_26:10 . ‘This song’ is to be interpreted as a song, not with the cold-blooded accuracy proper to a scientific treatise. The logic of emotion is as sound as that of cool intellect, but it has its own laws and links of connection. First, the song sets in sharp contrast the two cities, describing, in Isa_26:1 - Isa_26:4 , the city of God, its strength defences, conditions of citizenship, and the peace which reigns within its walls; and in Isa_26:5 -... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 26:1-10

Peace through Steadfast Trust Isaiah 26:1-10 No doubt when Babylon fell before Cyrus the Jewish remnant under Ezra and Nehemiah sang this triumphal ode, which contrasts the respective lots of Babylon and Jerusalem. The one is the city of this world and its children; the other the city and home of the saints. The fate of Babylon is delineated in Isaiah 26:5-6 ; but with what glowing words does the prophet dwell on the blessedness of those who are fellow-citizens with the saints and of the... read more
