Isaiah 26:1

We have a strong city - In opposition to the city of the enemy, which God hath destroyed, Isaiah 25:1-12 ; (note). See the note there.

Salvation - for walls and bulwarks - וחל חומת chomsoth vachel , walls and redoubts, or the walls and the ditch. חל chel properly signifies the ditch or trench without the wall; see Kimchi. The same rabbin says, This song refers to the time of salvation, i.e., the days of the Messiah.
