Matthew Poole and continuators on Isaiah 26:1

IN that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah , We have a strong city , salvation will God appoint for walls and bulwarks .

When God shall do such glorious Works for the Comfort of his People, and for the Ruine of his and their Enemies, as he hath described in the foregoing Chapter.

In the Church of God, which in Scripture is oft signified by the Titles of Iudah, and Ierusalem, and Sion, or the like.

Ierusalem, or the Church, which is oft called or compared to a City, as Psal. 87. 3. Revel. 3. 12. & 11. 2. & 21. 2.

God's immediate and saving Protection shall be to his Church in stead of Walls, &c. But I conceive, with submission, the Words may very fitly be thus rendred, He will set or put or make her walls and bulwarks salvation, i. e. as safe as Salvation it self: or, in safety, there being onely a defect of the Preposition, which is very frequent in Scripture.
