ISAIAH 25

\n

Praise to the Lord

\n

1\xa0Lord, you are my God;

\n

I will exalt you and praise your name,

\n

for in perfect faithfulness

\n

you have done wonderful things,

\n

things planned long ago.

\n

2 You have made the city a heap of rubble,

\n

the fortified town a ruin,

\n

the foreigners\u2019 stronghold a city no more;

\n

it will never be rebuilt.

\n

3 Therefore strong peoples will honor you;

\n

cities of ruthless nations will revere you.

\n

4 You have been a refuge for the poor,

\n

a refuge for the needy in their distress,

\n

a shelter from the storm

\n

and a shade from the heat.

\n

For the breath of the ruthless

\n

is like a storm driving against a wall

\n

5 and like the heat of the desert.

\n

You silence the uproar of foreigners;

\n

as heat is reduced by the shadow of a cloud,

\n

so the song of the ruthless is stilled.

\n

6 On this mountain the\xa0Lord\xa0Almighty

\n

will prepare

\n

a feast of rich food for all peoples,

\n

a banquet of aged wine\u2014

\n

the best of meats and the finest of wines.

\n

7 On this mountain he will destroy

\n

the shroud that enfolds all peoples,

\n

the sheet that covers all nations;

\n

8 he will swallow up death forever.

\n

The Sovereign\xa0Lord\xa0will wipe away the tears

\n

from all faces;

\n

he will remove his people\u2019s disgrace

\n

from all the earth.

\n

The\xa0Lord\xa0has spoken.

\n

9 In that day they will say,

\n

\u201cSurely this is our God;

\n

we trusted in him, and he saved us.

\n

This is the\xa0Lord, we trusted in him;

\n

let us rejoice and be glad in his salvation.\u201d
