Yasha'Yahu (Isaiah) — 26

A Song of Yadah to YAHUAH

1 In that day, everyone in the land of Yahudah will sing this song: Our city is strong! We are surrounded by the walls of our 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH’s salvation.

2 Open the gates to all who are righteous;    allow the faithful to enter.

3 For 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH will keep in perfect Shalum all who trust in Him, all whose thoughts are fixed in 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH!

4 Trust in 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH always, for 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH our 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH is the eternal Rock.

5 For 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH humbles the proud and brings down the arrogant city, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH brings it down to the dust.

6 The poor and oppressed trample it underfoot, and the needy walk all over it.

7 But for those who are righteous, the way is not steep and rough, You are our 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH who does what is right,  and you smooth out the path ahead of them.

8 O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, we show our trust in You by obeying your laws; our heart’s desire is to Esteemed your Name.

9 In the night I search for you; in the morning I earnestly seek you. For only when You come to judge the Arath will people learn what is right.

10 Your kindness to the wicked does not make them do good, Although others do right, the wicked keep doing wrong and take no notice of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH’s majesty.

11 O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, they pay no attention to your upraised fist, Show them your eagerness to defend your people, then they will be ashamed, Let your fire consume your enemies.

12 O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, you will grant us Shalum; all we have accomplished is really from you.

13 O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH our 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH, others have ruled us, but you alone are the one we worship.

14 Those we served before are dead and gone, their departed spirits will never return! You attacked them and destroyed them, and they are long forgotten.

15 O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, you have made our nation great; yes, you have made us great, You have extended our borders, and we give you the Kabad!

16 O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, in distress we searched for you, We prayed beneath the burden of your discipline.

17 Just as a pregnant woman writhes and cries out in pain as she gives birth, so were we in your presence, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH.

18 We, too, writhe in agony, but nothing comes of our suffering, We have not given salvation to the Arath, nor brought life into the world.

19 But those who die in the righteousness of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH will live; their bodies will rise again! Those who sleep in the Arath will rise up and sing for joy! For your life-giving light will fall like dew on your people in the place of the dead!

Restoration for Yashar'AL 

20 Go home, my people, and lock your doors! Hide yourselves for a little while until 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH’s anger has passed.

21 Look! 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH is coming from Shamaym to punish the people of the Arath for their sins, The Arath will no longer hide those who have been killed, they will be brought out for all to see.
