Charles Spurgeon Commentary Isaiah 26:16

"Jehovah, in trouble have they visited thee; they poured out a prayer [when] thy chastening was upon them." — Isaiah 26:16 (ASV)

Lord, in trouble have they visited thee, they poured out a prayer when thy chastening was upon them.

And it was well for them that they did so. God's true child does not get angry against his Father when he whips him; but, being chastened, he begins to pray; and blessed is that chastening that drives us to our knees: They poured out a prayer when thy chastening was upon them.
