"On that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah:
We have a strong city,
HE HIMSELF has set up
walls and fortifications to protect us.
Open the gates!
Let the righteous nation enter,
she who is firm in faithfulness.
You keep in perfect peace
the one of steadfast mind,
the one who trusts in YOU.
Trust in YAHWEH forever,
for YAHWEH is an everlasting Rock.
HE brought down those who dwell on high,
HE laid low to the lofty city,
HE razed it to the ground,
leveled it to the dust,
Now it is trampled
the poor and the lowly tread upon it."
- Isaiah 26:1-6
(A thanksgiving to YAHWEH who has done away with the presence of the oppressor. HIS citadel, installed, it would seem, in Jerusalem itself had been completely destroyed.)
