Isaiah 26:3-5

Amplified Bible

³
“You will keep in ^[a]perfect and constant peace the one whose mind is steadfast [that is, committed and focused on You—in both ^[b]inclination and character],
Because he trusts and takes refuge in You [with hope and confident expectation].
⁴
“Trust [confidently] in the Lord forever [He is your fortress, your shield, your banner],
For the Lord God is an everlasting Rock [the Rock of Ages].
⁵
“For He has thrown down the [arrogant] ones who dwell on high, the lofty and inaccessible city;
He lays it low, He lays it low to the ground, He hurls it to the dust.

Footnotes

Isaiah 26:3 Lit peace, peace, a Hebrew idiom of emphasis.
Isaiah 26:3 The Hebrew word for inclination became a technical term in Jewish tradition, and the rabbis frequently referred to the “evil inclination” much in the same sense as the sin nature. They also recognized a “good inclination,” which the righteous choose to follow, and urged people to make their good inclination king over the evil inclination.
