Isaiah 26:7 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

The way, &c.— Or, The way [chalked out] to the just is perfectly right. Thou, most upright, dost mark out the path of the just. Here begins the confession, which is extended to the 19th verse. In this verse the believers acknowledge the equity and justice of the ways of God in general toward his people. The meaning of the prophet is, that the state and condition of the life of the just, with all its circumstances and events, is so circumscribed and defined by the divine providence, that it is exactly accommodated to all the reasons of wisdom, justice, and goodness; and, though it may seem otherwise to the carnal eye, yet nothing occurs in the oeconomy of the divine providence towards them, which can reasonably be found fault with. See Vitringa's Observationes Sacrae, lib. 3: cap. 15.
