Isaiah 26:12 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Thou wilt ordain peace for us; as thou wilt destroy thine and our enemies, so thou wilt bless us thy people with peace and prosperity. All our works; either,

1. All the good works done by us, which are the effects of thy grace; or rather,

2. All the good and great works which have been wrought for us, all our wonderful deliverances and singular blessings, come from thee. And so the argument is this, God hath delivered us formerly upon all occasions, and therefore he will still deliver us, and give us peace; which inference is frequently made by holy men in Scripture. In us, Heb. to or for us.

Isaiah 26:12

12 LORD, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought all our works in us.d
