Isaiah 26:1

SalvationProtection and safety
In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah: We have a strong city; salvation is established as its walls and ramparts.

2 Open the gates so a righteous nation may enter— one that remains faithful.

3 You will keep in perfect peace the steadfast of mind, because he trusts in You.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
