The Pulpit Commentary on Isaiah 26:3

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

Thou wilt keep him, etc.; literally, the steadfast mind thou wilt keep in peace, in peace; i.e. "in perfect peace" (comp. Psalms 112:7, Psalms 112:8). The writer's mind throughout the first paragraph of his" song" (Isaiah 26:1-4)"is running" (as Mr.

Cheyne well observes) "on the security and immovableness of the new Jerusalem." All is peace and sure defense on God's side; all is trust and perfect confidence on the side of man. The first words of the verse may be taken in various ways—the above rendering (which seems to us the best) is that of Delitzsch and Kay.
