Isaiah 26:11–15

11 Lord, your hand is lifted high,

but they do not see it.

Let them see your zeal for your people and be put to shame;

let the fire reserved for your enemies consume them.

12 Lord, you establish peace for us;

all that we have accomplished you have done for us.

13 Lord our God, other lords besides you have ruled over us,

but your name alone do we honor.

14 They are now dead, they live no more;

their spirits do not rise.

You punished them and brought them to ruin;

you wiped out all memory of them.

15 You have enlarged the nation, Lord;

you have enlarged the nation.

You have gained glory for yourself;

you have extended all the borders of the land.

11 Lord, when thy hand is lifted up, They will not see:

But they shall see, and be ashamed for their envy at the people;

Yea, the fire of thine enemies shall devour them.

12 Lord, thou wilt ordain Peace for us:

For thou also hast wrought all our works in us.

13 O Lord our God,

Other lords beside thee have had dominion over us:

But by thee only will we make mention of thy name.

14 They are dead, they shall not live;

They are deceased, they shall not rise:

Therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them,

And made all their memory to perish.

15 Thou hast increased the nation, O Lord,

Thou hast increased the nation: thou art glorified:

Thou hadst removed it far unto all the ends of the earth.

11 O Lord, 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 Lord, you will grant us peace;

all we have accomplished is really from you.

13 O Lord our God, 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 Lord, you have made our nation great;

yes, you have made us great.

You have extended our borders,

and we give you the glory!

11 Lord, when Your hand is lifted up, they will not see.

But they will see and be ashamed

For their envy of people;

Yes, the fire of Your enemies shall devour them.

12 Lord, You will establish peace for us,

For You have also done all our works in us.

13 O Lord our God, masters besides You

Have had dominion over us;

But by You only we make mention of Your name.

14 They are dead, they will not live;

They are deceased, they will not rise.

Therefore You have punished and destroyed them,

And made all their memory to perish.

15 You have increased the nation, O Lord,

You have increased the nation;

You are glorified;

You have expanded all the borders of the land.

11 Lord, you are ready to punish those people,

but they do not see that.

Show them your strong love for your people.

Then those who are evil will be ashamed.

Burn them in the fire

you have prepared for your enemies.

12 Lord, all our success is because of what you have done,

so give us peace.

13 Lord, our God, other masters besides you have ruled us,

but we honor only you.

14 Those masters are now dead;

their ghosts will not rise from death.

You punished and destroyed them

and erased any memory of them.

15 Lord, you multiplied the number of your people;

you multiplied them and brought honor to yourself.

You made the borders of the land wide.

11 Jehovah, thy hand is lifted up, yet they see not: but they shall see thy zeal for the people, and be put to shame; yea, fire shall devour thine adversaries. 12 Jehovah, thou wilt ordain peace for us; for thou hast also wrought all our works for us. 13 O Jehovah our God, other lords besides thee have had dominion over us; but by thee only will we make mention of thy name. 14 They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all remembrance of them to perish. 15 Thou hast increased the nation, O Jehovah, thou hast increased the nation; thou art glorified; thou hast enlarged all the borders of the land.

11 Jehovah, thy hand is lifted up, but they do not see: yet they shall see thy jealousy for the people, and be ashamed; yea, the fire which is for thine adversaries shall devour them.

12 Jehovah, thou wilt ordain peace for us; for thou also hast wrought all our works for us. 13 Jehovah our God, other lords than thee have had dominion over us; by thee only will we make mention of thy name. 14 They are dead, they shall not live; deceased, they shall not rise: for thou hast visited and destroyed them, and made all memory of them to perish. 15 Thou hast increased the nation, Jehovah, thou hast increased the nation: thou art glorified. Thou hadst removed it far unto all the ends of the earth.

11 O Lord, your power is visible, but they do not see it. 

They will see how devoted your people are, 

and they will be put to shame. 

Your burning anger will destroy your enemies. 

12 O Lord, you will establish peace for us, 

since you have done everything for us. 

13 O Lord, our God, you are not the only master to rule us, 

but we acknowledge only you. 

14 The wicked are dead. 

They are no longer alive. 

The spirits of the dead won’t rise. 

You have punished them, destroyed them, 

and wiped out all memory of them. 

15 You have expanded the nation, O Lord. 

You have expanded the nation. 

You are honored. 

You have extended all the land’s boundaries. 

11 Lord, Your hand is lifted up to take action,

but they do not see it.

They will see Your zeal for Your people,

and they will be put to shame.

The fire for Your adversaries will consume them!

12 Lord, You will establish peace for us,

for You have also done all our work for us.

13 Yahweh our God, lords other than You have ruled over us,

but we remember Your name alone.

14 The dead do not live;

departed spirits do not rise up.

Indeed, You have visited and destroyed them;

You have wiped out all memory of them.

15 You have added to the nation, Lord.

You have added to the nation; You are honored.

You have expanded all the borders of the land.

11 O Lord, your hand is lifted up,

but they do not see it.

Let them see your zeal for your people and be ashamed.

Let the fire for your adversaries consume them.

12 O Lord, may you ordain peace for us,

for indeed, all that we have done, you have done for us.

13 O Lord our God,

other lords besides you have ruled over us,

but we acknowledge your name alone.

14 The dead do not live;

shades do not rise

because you have punished and destroyed them

and wiped out all memory of them.

15 But you have increased the nation, O Lord;

you have increased the nation; you are glorified;

you have enlarged all the borders of the land.

11 Yahweh, though your hand reaches high, they do not see it.

Let them see, and let them be ashamed of the zeal of people.

Indeed, let the fire of your enemies consume them.

12 Yahweh, you will establish peace for us,

for you have done even all of our works for us.

13 Yahweh, our God, lords besides you ruled over us,

but we praise your name alone.

14 The dead do not live;

dead spirits do not rise

because you have punished and destroyed them,

and you have destroyed all memory of them.

15 You have added to the nation, Yahweh.

You have added to the nation; you are honored.

You have extended all the ends of the land.

11 Lord, you have raised your hand high to punish them.

But they don’t even see it.

Let them see how much you love your people.

Then they will be put to shame.

Let the fire you are saving for your enemies burn them up.

12 Lord, you give us peace.

You are the one who has done everything we’ve accomplished.

13 Lord, you are our God.

Other masters besides you have ruled over us.

But your name is the only one we honor.

14 Those other masters are now dead.

They will never live again.

Their spirits won’t rise from the dead.

You punished them and destroyed them.

You wiped out all memory of them.

15 Lord, you have made our nation grow.

You have made it larger.

You have gained glory for yourself.

You have increased the size of our land.

11 O Lord, Your hand is lifted up yet they do not see it.

They see Your zeal for the people and are put to shame;

Indeed, fire will devour Your enemies.

12 Lord, You will establish peace for us,

Since You have also performed for us all our works.

13 O Lord our God, other masters besides You have ruled us;

But through You alone we confess Your name.

14 The dead will not live, the departed spirits will not rise;

Therefore You have punished and destroyed them,

And You have wiped out all remembrance of them.

15 You have increased the nation, O Lord,

You have increased the nation, You are glorified;

You have extended all the borders of the land.
