‏ Isaiah 26:12

Peace for the God-fearing

Opposite the terrible fate of the wicked and all who have followed him, is the portion of the faithful remnant. On the wicked came fire (Isa 26:11), on the remnant comes peace now that the LORD is in the land (Isa 26:12). It is the peace which the LORD possesses, not a peace which they themselves have worked out. It is the perfect peace, the peace which is real peace, which the LORD gives to those who trust in Him (Isa 26:3).

For peace with God, He accomplished the work all by Himself through His Son. Through faith in the Son and His work on the cross, they have peace in their hearts in view of their sins. He has also done everything necessary for their peace on earth through their deliverance from the hand of their enemies, even though He has enabled them to help Him. They say of their contribution that He has done it for them (cf. Eph 2:10). Through that work they live in peaceful circumstances on earth and there is no longer a hostile power that can disturb this peace.
