Isaiah 25
NASB 1995 + Strong's
Song of Praise for God’s Favor

1O LORD, You are my God; I will exalt You, I will give thanks to Your name; For You have worked wonders, Plans [formed] long ago, with perfect faithfulness.

2For You have made a city into a heap, A fortified city into a ruin; A palace of strangers is a city no more, It will never be rebuilt.

3Therefore a strong people will glorify You; Cities of ruthless nations will revere You.

4For You have been a defense for the helpless, A defense for the needy in his distress, A refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat; For the breath of the ruthless Is like a [rain] storm [against] a wall.

5Like heat in drought, You subdue the uproar of aliens; [Like] heat by the shadow of a cloud, the song of the ruthless is silenced.

6The LORD of hosts will prepare a lavish banquet for all peoples on this mountain; A banquet of aged wine, choice pieces with marrow, [And] refined, aged wine.

7And on this mountain He will swallow up the covering which is over all peoples, Even the veil which is stretched over all nations.

8He will swallow up death for all time, And the Lord GOD will wipe tears away from all faces, And He will remove the reproach of His people from all the earth; For the LORD has spoken.

9And it will be said in that day, "Behold, this is our God for whom we have waited that He might save us. This is the LORD for whom we have waited; Let us rejoice and be glad in His salvation."

10For the hand of the LORD will rest on this mountain, And Moab will be trodden down in his place As straw is trodden down in the water of a manure pile.

11And he will spread out his hands in the middle of it As a swimmer spreads out [his hands] to swim, But [the Lord] will lay low his pride together with the trickery of his hands.

12The unassailable fortifications of your walls He will bring down, Lay low [and] cast to the ground, even to the dust.
