Isaiah 26: 7 - 9, 12, 16 - 19
|
| 7
|
The way of the righteous is level; thou dost make smooth the path of the righteous.
|
| 8
|
In the path of thy judgments, O LORD, we wait for thee; thy memorial name is the desire of our soul.
|
| 9
|
My soul yearns for thee in the night, my spirit within me earnestly seeks thee. For when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
|
| 12
|
O LORD, thou wilt ordain peace for us, thou hast wrought for us all our works.
|
| 16
|
O LORD, in distress they sought thee, they poured out a prayer when thy chastening was upon them.
|
| 17
|
Like a woman with child, who writhes and cries out in her pangs, when she is near her time, so were we because of thee, O LORD;
|
| 18
|
we were with child, we writhed, we have as it were brought forth wind. We have wrought no deliverance in the earth, and the inhabitants of the world have not fallen.
|
| 19
|
Thy dead shall live, their bodies shall rise. O dwellers in the dust, awake and sing for joy! For thy dew is a dew of light, and on the land of the shades thou wilt let it fall.
