The Pulpit Commentary on Isaiah 26:4

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

Trust ye in the Lord. The faithful exhort each other to perfect trust, in the new Jerusalem, as in the old (see Psalms 115:9-11). In the Lord Jehovah; literally, in Jah Jehorah (comp. Isaiah 12:2). Is everlasting strength; literally, is the Rock of ages.

A certain refuge throughout all eternity is, no doubt, intended (see the comment on Isaiah 17:10).
