Expositor's Bible Commentary - Isaiah 26:1

-22BOOK 5PROPHECIES NOT RELATING TO ISAIAH’S TIMEIn the first thirty-nine chapters of the Book of Isaiah-the half which refers to the prophet’s own career and the politics contemporary with that - we find four or five prophecies containing no reference to Isaiah himself nor to any Jewish king under whom he laboured, and painting both Israel and the foreign world in quite a different state from that in which they lay during his lifetime. These prophecies are chapter 13, an Oracle announcing the... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Isaiah 26:1-21

CHAPTER XXIXGOD’S POORDATE UNCERTAINIsaiah 25:1-12; Isaiah 26:1-21; Isaiah 27:1-13WE have seen that no more than the faintest gleam of historical reflection brightens the obscurity of chapter 24, and that the disaster which lowers there is upon too world-wide a scale to be forced within the conditions of any single period in the fortunes of Israel. In chapters 25-27, which may naturally be held to be a continuation of chapter 24, the historical allusions are more numerous. Indeed, it might be... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Isaiah 26:1-21

CHAPTER 26 Judah’s Glory Song 1. Praise for Jehovah’s faithfulness and mercies (Isaiah 26:1-6 ) 2. The experiences of waiting during the night (Isaiah 26:7-11 ) 3. The assurance of peace and deliverance (Isaiah 26:12-18 ) 4. Assurance of restoration and preservation (Isaiah 26:19-21 ) We call attention to verses 12-21. Annihilationists base upon these words the evil doctrine that the wicked are not raised, but destroyed. The fact, however, is that Isaiah 26:13 and Isaiah 26:14 do not... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Isaiah 26:1

26:1 In that day shall {a} this song be sung in the land of Judah; We have a strong city; {b} salvation will [God] appoint [for] walls and bulwarks.(a) This song was made to comfort the faithful when their captivity would come, assuring them also of their deliverance, for which they should sing this song.(b) God’s protection and defence will be sufficient for us. read more

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

Joseph Parker

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

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 26:1

CONTENTS This is another joyful song, and a gospel song, full of the praises of Jehovah for redemption, interspersed with reflections on the wonderful deadness of the souls of God's people, in the view of their mercies. read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 26:1-2

Reader! do not fail to observe how the prophet continually harps upon that day, that glorious clay, the gospel day, when the Lord will bring again Zion. And though some have thought that the deliverance of the Church out of Babylon might well call forth this song, of praise; yet even then, every child of God, even Israel thus delivered, could not but celebrate that temporal salvation as typical of a spiritual and eternal salvation by the Lord Jesus Christ. The deliverance of the Church from... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Isaiah 26:1

Day. Under the law of grace, Christians sing this and such like canticles. (Worthington) --- Sion. This word is not in Hebrew, &c., though it be understood. (Calmet) --- Other nations have their respective cities. All Christians admit this one. (Worthington) --- The captives continue to return thanks. Yet the Holy Ghost speaks chiefly of the Church, and of the general resurrection. (Calmet) --- Bulwark. Faith and good works. (Worthington) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 26:1-4

1-4 "That day," seems to mean when the New Testament Babylon shall be levelled with the ground. The unchangeable promise and covenant of the Lord are the walls of the church of God. The gates of this city shall be open. Let sinners then be encouraged to join to the Lord. Thou wilt keep him in peace; in perfect peace, inward peace, outward peace, peace with God, peace of conscience, peace at all times, in all events. Trust in the Lord for that peace, that portion, which will be for ever.... read more
