Charles Spurgeon Commentary
"Let favor be showed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness; in the land of uprightness will he deal wrongfully, and will not behold the majesty of Jehovah. Jehovah, thy hand is lifted up, yet they see not: but they shall see [thy] zeal for the people, and be put to shame; yea, fire shall devour thine adversaries. Jehovah, thou wilt ordain peace for us; for thou hast also wrought all our works for us." — Isaiah 26:10-12 (ASV)
Let favour be shewed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the LORD. LORD, when thy hand is lifted up, they will not see: but they shall see, and be ashamed for their envy at the people; yea, the fire of thine enemies shall devour them. LORD, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought all our works in us.
Troubled saint, what a precious passage this is for you! Poor, tempest-tossed soul, what a glorious utterance! Lord, thou wilt ordain peace for us. There shall come an ordinance from God, that his people shall have peace: Thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought all our works in us; so they must be good works, but those works which God did not work in us are bad ones.
