# Chapter 25
|
|
1. Lord, you are my God;
|
|
I will exalt you. I will praise your name,
|
|
for you have accomplished wonders,
|
|
plans formed long ago, with perfect faithfulness.
|
|
|
|
2. For you have turned the city into a pile of rocks,
|
|
a fortified city, into ruins;
|
|
the fortress of barbarians is no longer a city;
|
|
it will never be rebuilt.
|
|
|
|
3. Therefore, a strong people will honor you.
|
|
The cities of violent nations will fear you.
|
|
|
|
4. For you have been a stronghold for the poor person,
|
|
a stronghold for the needy in his distress,
|
|
a refuge from storms and a shade from heat.
|
|
|
|
When the breath of the violent
|
|
is like a storm against a wall,
|
|
|
|
5. like heat in a dry land,
|
|
you will subdue the uproar of barbarians.
|
|
As the shade of a cloud cools the heat of the day,
|
|
so he will silence the song of the violent.
|
|
|
|
6. On this mountain,
|
|
the Lord of Armies will prepare for all the peoples a feast of choice meat,
|
|
a feast with aged wine, prime cuts of choice meat, fine vintage wine.
|
|
|
|
7. On this mountain
|
|
he will swallow up the burial shroud,
|
|
the shroud over all the peoples,
|
|
the sheet covering all the nations.
|
|
|
|
8. When he has swallowed up death once and for all,
|
|
the Lord God will wipe away the tears
|
|
from every face
|
|
and remove his people's disgrace
|
|
from the whole earth,
|
|
for
|
|
the Lord has spoken.
|
|
|
|
9. On that day it will be said,
|
|
"Look, this is our God;
|
|
we have waited for him, and he has saved us.
|
|
|
|
This is
|
|
the Lord; we have waited for him.
|
|
Let's rejoice and be glad in his salvation."
|
|
|
|
10. For
|
|
the Lord's power will rest on this mountain.
|
|
But Moab will be trampled in his place
|
|
as straw is trampled in a dung pile.
|
|
|
|
11. He will spread out his arms in the middle of it,
|
|
as a swimmer spreads out his arms to swim.
|
|
His pride will be brought low,
|
|
along with the trickery of his hands.
|
|
|
|
12. The high-walled fortress will be brought down,
|
|
thrown to the ground, to the dust.
