- "Night appears to be a time peculiarly favorable to devotion."
- From the Commentary on the
Whole Bible (Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).
- "Jesus can create "perfect peace" within thy mind, though storms of trial rage without (Isa 57:19; Mr 4:39); as a city kept securely by a strong garrison within, though besieged without (so Php 4:7). "Keep," literally, "guard as with a garrison." HORSLEY translates, (God's) workmanship (the Hebrew does not probably mean "mind," but "a thing formed," Eph 2:10), so constantly "supported"; or else "formed and supported (by Thee) Thou shalt preserve (it, namely, the righteous nation) in perpetual peace.""
- "The
Song of a City, and the Pearl of Peace; Isaiah 26:3," Charles H.
Spurgeon, 1885.
- "This song of a city may, however, belong to us as much as to the men of Judah, and we may throw into it a deeper sense of which they were not aware. We were once unguarded from spiritual evil, and we spent our days in constant fear; but the Lord has found for us a city of defence, a castle of refuge."

- "Interpreted as I have argued above, Isa 26:19b is a statement concerning the condition in which the newly reconstituted dead begin their transition to life again...Ezekiel 37:1-14 implies similar staging of the reanimation process, and postbiblical descriptions of resurrection elaborate individual steps in the sequence."
