G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 26:1-21

Naturally following this prophecy of praise for the activity of Jehovah is the great song which will be sung in the day of Jehovah's ultimate victory. It is praise for the establishment of the city, and for deliverance. The deep secret of the new condition is the secret of the mind stayed on Jehovah. In Him is the Rock of Ages.

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 26:5-21

The Righteous and the Unrighteous (Isaiah 26:5-21 ) The ways of the righteous and of the unrighteous are now compared, and their destinies contrasted. For the unrighteous the grave with its shadowy half-existence, for the righteous, resurrection to new hope.

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 26:1-19

Isaiah 26:1-Psalms : . Memories and Anticipations.— The poem, which is a very elaborate composition, seems to have been written in confident expectation of deliverance, though the actual situation is still one of distress. Jerusalem has been made impregnable, let the righteous enter in. The unwavering mind is kept by God in unbroken peace ( cf. mg.) . He is worthy of trust, for He is an everlasting rock; He has laid low the exalted city, the afflicted Jews trample it under foot. The way of... read more
