# Chapter 25
|
|
1 O Lord, you are my God;
|
|
I will exalt you; I will praise your name,
|
|
for you have done wonderful things,
|
|
plans formed of old, faithful and sure.
|
|
2 For you have made the city a heap,
|
|
the fortified city a ruin;
|
|
the foreigners' palace is a city no more;
|
|
it will never be rebuilt.
|
|
3 Therefore strong peoples will glorify you;
|
|
cities of ruthless nations will fear you.
|
|
4 For you have been a stronghold to the poor,
|
|
a stronghold to the needy in his distress,
|
|
a shelter from the storm and a shade from the heat;
|
|
for the breath of the ruthless is like a storm against a wall,
|
|
5 like heat in a dry place.
|
|
You subdue the noise of the foreigners;
|
|
as heat by the shade of a cloud,
|
|
so the song of the ruthless is put down.
|
|
6 On this mountain the Lord of hosts will make for all peoples
|
|
a feast of rich food, a feast of well-aged wine,
|
|
of rich food full of marrow, of aged wine well refined.
|
|
7 And he will swallow up on this mountain
|
|
the covering that is cast over all peoples,
|
|
the veil that is spread over all nations.
|
|
8 He will swallow up death forever;
|
|
and the Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces,
|
|
and the reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth,
|
|
for the Lord has spoken.
|
|
9 It will be said on that day,
|
|
“Behold, this is our God; we have waited for him, that he might save us.
|
|
This is the Lord; we have waited for him;
|
|
let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation.”
|
|
10 For the hand of the Lord will rest on this mountain,
|
|
and Moab shall be trampled down in his place,
|
|
as straw is trampled down in a dunghill.
|
|
11 And he will spread out his hands in the midst of it
|
|
as a swimmer spreads his hands out to swim,
|
|
but the Lord will lay low his pompous pride together with the skill of his hands.
|
|
12 And the high fortifications of his walls he will bring down,
|
|
lay low, and cast to the ground, to the dust. |
