Isaiah 26:3
1 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.
You will keep in perfect peace the steadfast of mind, because he trusts in You.
4 Trust in the LORD forever, because GOD the LORD is the Rock eternal.
5 For He has humbled those who dwell on high; He lays the lofty city low. He brings it down to the ground; He casts it into the dust.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
