Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 26:1-21

Final victory for the godly (26:1-27:1)Having destroyed the city built by human hands (that is, humankind’s whole ungodly way of life; 25:2), God now builds his city. It is a city for the righteous, an eternal dwelling place for those who have experienced the perfect peace that comes through complete trust in God (26:1-3). Those who trust in him have stability and security, but those who trust in themselves are overthrown. God’s city stands for ever; the world’s city is smashed to the ground... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 26:4-6

Isaiah 26:4-6. Trust ye in the Lord— The fourth chorus, in these verses, contains an exhortation directed to others to place their confidence in God, upon the knowledge and observation of the present illustrious deliverance vouchsafed. The fifth and sixth verses should be rendered in the perfect tense, He hath brought down, &c. The foot hath trodden down. See chap. Isaiah 25:2; Isaiah 25:12. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 26:4

4. Lord JEHOVAH —Hebrew, Jah, Jehovah. The union of the two names expresses in the highest degree God's unchanging love and power (compare Psalms 68:4). This passage, and Isaiah 12:2; Exodus 6:3; Psalms 83:18, are the four in which the English Version retains the JEHOVAH of the original. MAURER translates, "For JAH (the eternal unchangeable One, Psalms 83:18- :) is JEHOVAH, the rock of ages" (compare Isaiah 45:17; Deuteronomy 32:15; 1 Samuel 2:2). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 26:4

Isaiah urged everyone to trust in the Lord as a way of life, not just in a saving act of faith, because Yahweh, even Yahweh, is the very essence of what an everlasting rock should be (cf. Isaiah 17:10; Isaiah 30:29; Isaiah 44:8; Exodus 33:21; Deuteronomy 32:4; 1 Samuel 2:2; 2 Samuel 22:2; 2 Samuel 22:32; Psalms 18:2; Psalms 19:14; Psalms 61:2; 1 Corinthians 10:4). His presence is an unmoving place of refuge and protection from the elements and from all enemies. Augustus M. Toplady drew the... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Isaiah 26:4

(4) For in the Lord Jehovah.—The Hebrew presents, as in Isaiah 12:2, the exceptional combination of the two names Jah (Psalms 68:4) and Jehovah. In the Hebrew for “everlasting strength,” we have, literally, the Rock of Ages of the well-known hymn. We have the same name of Rock applied to express the unchangeableness of God, as in Deuteronomy 32:4. read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Isaiah 26:1-21

The Mark for Recognizing God's Peace Isaiah 26:3 I. It is not said, 'Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed'. There is nothing in mere movelessness which is suggestive of peace. A mind may be motionless without being rested; nay, it may be motionless by reason of its unrest. What, for example, is the numbness of despair, but just a mind which has been deprived of movement by its own unrest. Grief by its excess lifts stopped the pulses of feeling; fear has paralysed energy;... 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
