Context — A Song of Salvation
10Though grace is shown to the wicked man, he does not learn righteousness. In the land of righteousness he acts unjustly and fails to see the majesty of the LORD.
11O LORD, Your hand is upraised, but they do not see it. They will see Your zeal for Your people and be put to shame. The fire set for Your enemies will consume them!
12O LORD, You will establish peace for us. For all that we have accomplished, You have done for us.
13O LORD our God, other lords besides You have ruled over us, but Your name alone do we confess. 14The dead will not live; the departed spirits will not rise. Therefore You have punished and destroyed them; You have wiped out all memory of them.Cross References

Isaiah 26:12 Summary
[This verse means that God is the one who brings us peace, and that He is the one who makes all our accomplishments possible. It's not about what we can do, but about what God does for us and through us. As we see in Jeremiah 29:11, God has plans to prosper us and give us hope and a future, and we can trust in His goodness and sovereignty to establish peace for us.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean for God to establish peace for us?
According to Isaiah 26:12, God is the one who establishes peace for us, and this peace is a result of His work in our lives, as all that we have accomplished is actually done by Him, similar to what we see in Psalm 127:1-2 where unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain.
How can we have peace when there is so much turmoil around us?
The peace that God establishes for us is not dependent on our circumstances, but on His presence and work in our lives, as seen in Isaiah 26:3 where God keeps in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in Him.
What does it mean that all that we have accomplished is actually done by God?
This means that our accomplishments are not solely our own, but are a result of God's work and provision in our lives, similar to what the Apostle Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 3:6-7, where he says that neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.
How can we apply this verse to our daily lives?
We can apply this verse by recognizing God's sovereignty and provision in our lives, and trusting in Him to establish peace for us, even in the midst of challenges and uncertainties, as encouraged in Proverbs 3:5-6 to trust in the Lord with all our heart and lean not on our own understanding.
Reflection Questions
- What are some areas in my life where I need God to establish peace, and how can I trust Him to do so?
- In what ways have I been trying to accomplish things on my own, and how can I surrender those efforts to God?
- How can I cultivate a deeper sense of trust and dependence on God, recognizing that all my accomplishments are ultimately His work?
- What would it look like for me to live out the truth of this verse in my daily life, and what steps can I take to make that a reality?
Gill's Exposition on Isaiah 26:12
Lord, thou wilt ordain peace for us,.... Dispose, order, give it to us, outward and inward, spiritual and eternal: chiefly respect is had to that peace and prosperity the church will have in the
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Isaiah 26:12
LORD, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought all our works in us. Peace for us - "peace:" God's favour; including all blessings, temporal and spiritual, opposed to their previous trials (Psalms 138:8).
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Isaiah 26:12
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.
Trapp's Commentary on Isaiah 26:12
Isaiah 26:12 LORD, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought all our works in us.Ver. 12. Lord, thou wilt ordain peace for us.] Or, Lord, dispose peace for us. For thou also hast wrought all our works in us.] Or, For us. Certum est nos facere quod facimus, sed Deus facit ut faciamus: without Christ we can do nothing. In him alone is our fruit found. It is well observed by a grave interpreter, that the Church in the Canticles is nowhere described by the beauty of her hands or fingers, because God alone worketh all her works for her, and had rather that she should abound in good works in silence than to boast of them at all.
Ellicott's Commentary on Isaiah 26:12
(12) Thou also hast wrought all our work in us . . .—Better, for us. The “work” is the great work of salvation and deliverance.
Cambridge Bible on Isaiah 26:12
12. thou wilt ordain] or “mayest thou ordain.” peace for us] cf. Isaiah 26:3. for thou also hast wrought …] Better: for even our whole work thou hast wrought for us; all that we have achieved—inadequate though it be (see Isaiah 26:17)—has been due to thy working for us. A similar thought underlies the prayer of Psa 90:16-17, where the manifestation of Jehovah’s work is equivalent to His establishing the work of Israel’s hands.
Barnes' Notes on Isaiah 26:12
Thou wilt ordain peace - The word ‘peace’ here seems to stand opposed to the evils of various kinds which they had experienced in the captivity at Babylon; and to refer net only to peace, but also to
Whedon's Commentary on Isaiah 26:12
12. Peace for us — “Peace,” here, is comprehensive. It is future safety from all the evils suffered under Jehovah’s enemies.
