Isaiah 26:5-7

5-7. He bringeth down them that dwell on high The argument is, Why not trust such a One who has overwhelmed imperial oppressive cities, and abolished nearer gainsaying peoples. A more free rendering here, but giving the true sense is, “The dwellers in high pride he hurled downward, the towering fortress he tumbled to the ground and pulverized it to dust. Feet of common people, feet of the poor and lowly, are treading it in very scorn.” But to the righteous how otherwise the result! Their way is straight and even. The word weigh, in Isaiah 26:7, is used in the sense of to make even, to level. The course of the just is smooth and unimpeded.
