Isaiah 26:11-19 New King James Version (NKJV)

11. Lord, when Your hand is lifted up, they will not see.But they will see and be ashamedFor 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 YouHave 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.

16. Lord, in trouble they have visited You,They poured out a prayer when Your chastening was upon them.

17. As a woman with childIs in pain and cries out in her pangs,When she draws near the time of her delivery,So have we been in Your sight, O Lord.

18. We have been with child, we have been in pain;We have, as it were, brought forth wind;We have not accomplished any deliverance in the earth,Nor have the inhabitants of the world fallen.

19. Your dead shall live;Together with my dead body they shall arise.Awake and sing, you who dwell in dust;For your dew is like the dew of herbs,And the earth shall cast out the dead.
