Isaiah 26:12-14

New International Reader's Version

¹² Lord, you give us peace.
    You are the one who has done everything we’ve accomplished.
¹³ Lord, you are our God.
    Other masters besides you have ruled over us.
    But your name is the only one we honor.
¹⁴ Those other masters are now dead.
    They will never live again.
    Their spirits won’t rise from the dead.
You punished them and destroyed them.
    You wiped out all memory of them.
