Cántico de alabanza por el favor de Jehová

25 Jehová, tú eres mi Dios; te exaltaré, alabaré tu nombre, porque has hecho maravillas; tus consejos antiguos son verdad y firmeza. Porque convertiste la ciudad en montón, la ciudad fortificada en ruina; el alcázar de los extraños para que no sea ciudad, ni nunca jamás sea reedificado. Por esto te dará gloria el pueblo fuerte, te temerá la ciudad de gentes robustas. Porque fuiste fortaleza al pobre, fortaleza al menesteroso en su aflicción, refugio contra el turbión, sombra contra el calor; porque el ímpetu de los violentos es como turbión contra el muro. Como el calor en lugar seco, así humillarás el orgullo de los extraños; y como calor debajo de nube harás marchitar el renuevo de los robustos.

Y Jehová de los ejércitos hará en este monte a todos los pueblos banquete de manjares suculentos, banquete de vinos refinados, de gruesos tuétanos y de vinos purificados. Y destruirá en este monte la cubierta con que están cubiertos todos los pueblos, y el velo que envuelve a todas las naciones. Destruirá a la muerte para siempre;(A) y enjugará Jehová el Señor toda lágrima de todos los rostros;(B) y quitará la afrenta de su pueblo de toda la tierra; porque Jehová lo ha dicho.

Y se dirá en aquel día: He aquí, este es nuestro Dios, le hemos esperado, y nos salvará; este es Jehová a quien hemos esperado, nos gozaremos y nos alegraremos en su salvación.

10 Porque la mano de Jehová reposará en este monte; pero Moab(C) será hollado en su mismo sitio, como es hollada la paja en el muladar. 11 Y extenderá su mano por en medio de él, como la extiende el nadador para nadar; y abatirá su soberbia y la destreza de sus manos. 12 Y abatirá la fortaleza de tus altos muros; la humillará y la echará a tierra, hasta el polvo.

Song of Praise for God’s Favor

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.
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.
Therefore a strong people will (G)glorify You;
(H)Cities of ruthless nations will revere You.
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.
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.

(M)Now the Lord of armies will prepare a [b]lavish banquet for (N)all peoples on this mountain;
A banquet of [c]aged wine, [d]choice pieces with marrow,
And [e]refined, aged wine.
And on this mountain He will destroy the [f](O)covering which is over all peoples,
The veil which is [g]stretched over all nations.
He will [h](P)swallow up death for all time,
And the Lord [i]God will (Q)wipe tears away from all faces,
And He will remove the (R)disgrace of His people from all the earth;
For the Lord has spoken.
And it will be said on that day,
“Behold, (S)this is our God for whom we have (T)waited [j]that (U)He might save us.
This is the Lord for whom we have waited;
(V)Let’s rejoice and be glad in His salvation.”
10 For the hand of the Lord will rest on this mountain,
And (W)Moab will be trampled down in his place
As straw is trampled down in the water of a manure pile.
11 And he will (X)spread out his hands in the middle of it
As a swimmer spreads out his hands to swim,
But the Lord will (Y)lay low his pride together with the trickery of his hands.
12 The (Z)unassailable fortifications of your walls He will bring down,
Lay low, and throw to the ground, to the dust.
