Isaiah 25:1-5

New American Standard Bible

25 Lord, You are ^(A)my God;
I will exalt You, I will give thanks to Your name;
For You have ^(B)worked wonders,
^(C)Plans formed long ago, with perfect faithfulness.
² For You have turned a city into a ^(D)heap,
A ^(E)fortified city into a ruin;
A ^(F)palace of strangers is no longer a city,
It will never be rebuilt.
³ Therefore a strong people will ^(G)glorify You;
^(H)Cities of ruthless nations will revere You.
⁴ For You have been a ^(I)stronghold for the helpless,
A stronghold for the poor in his distress,
A ^(J)refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat;
For the breath of the ^(K)ruthless
Is like a rain storm against a wall.
⁵ Like heat in a dry land, You subdue the ^(L)uproar of foreigners;
Like heat by the shadow of a cloud, the song of the ruthless is ^[a]silenced.
