Cántico de alabanza por el favor de Dios

25 Oh Señor, tú eres mi Dios(A);
te ensalzaré, daré alabanzas a tu nombre,
porque has hecho maravillas(B),
designios(C) concebidos desde tiempos antiguos con toda fidelidad.
Porque has convertido la ciudad en un montón de escombros,
la ciudad fortificada, en una ruina(D);
el palacio de extranjeros ya no es ciudad,
nunca será reedificado(E).
Por eso te glorificará un pueblo fuerte(F),
ciudades de crueles naciones te reverenciarán(G).
Porque tú has sido baluarte para el desvalido,
baluarte para el necesitado en su angustia(H),
refugio contra la tormenta, sombra contra el calor(I);
pues el aliento de los crueles
es como turbión contra el muro(J).
Como calor durante la sequía, tú aquietas el estruendo(K) de los extranjeros;
como el calor a la sombra de una nube, es acallado[a] el cántico de los tiranos.

Y el Señor de los ejércitos preparará en este monte(L) para todos los pueblos un banquete de manjares suculentos[b](M),
un banquete de vino añejo[c], pedazos escogidos[d] con tuétano,
y vino añejo[e] refinado.
Y destruirá en este monte la[f] cobertura(N) que cubre todos los pueblos,
el velo que está extendido[g] sobre todas las naciones.
El destruirá[h] la muerte para siempre(O);
el Señor Dios[i] enjugará las lágrimas de todos los rostros(P),
y quitará el oprobio de su pueblo de sobre toda la tierra(Q),
porque el Señor ha hablado.
Y en aquel día se dirá:
He aquí, este es nuestro Dios(R) a quien hemos esperado(S) para que nos salvara(T);
este es el Señor a quien hemos esperado;
regocijémonos y alegrémonos en su salvación(U).
10 Porque la mano del Señor reposará en este monte,
y Moab(V) será hollado en su sitio
como es hollada la paja en el agua del muladar.
11 Y en medio de él, Moab extenderá sus manos(W)
como el nadador extiende sus manos para nadar,
pero el Señor abatirá(X) su arrogancia y[j] la destreza de sus manos.
12 Y derribará las fortalezas inexpugnables[k] de tus murallas,
las humillará y las echará por tierra, hasta el polvo(Y).

Praise to the Lord

25 Lord, you are my God;(A)
    I will exalt you and praise your name,(B)
for in perfect faithfulness(C)
    you have done wonderful things,(D)
    things planned(E) long ago.
You have made the city a heap of rubble,(F)
    the fortified(G) town a ruin,(H)
the foreigners’ stronghold(I) a city no more;
    it will never be rebuilt.(J)
Therefore strong peoples will honor you;(K)
    cities of ruthless(L) nations will revere you.
You have been a refuge(M) for the poor,(N)
    a refuge for the needy(O) in their distress,
a shelter from the storm(P)
    and a shade from the heat.
For the breath of the ruthless(Q)
    is like a storm driving against a wall
    and like the heat of the desert.
You silence(R) the uproar of foreigners;(S)
    as heat is reduced by the shadow of a cloud,
    so the song of the ruthless(T) is stilled.

On this mountain(U) the Lord Almighty will prepare
    a feast(V) of rich food for all peoples,
a banquet of aged wine—
    the best of meats and the finest of wines.(W)
On this mountain he will destroy
    the shroud(X) that enfolds all peoples,(Y)
the sheet that covers all nations;
    he will swallow up death(Z) forever.
The Sovereign Lord will wipe away the tears(AA)
    from all faces;
he will remove his people’s disgrace(AB)
    from all the earth.
The Lord has spoken.(AC)

In that day(AD) they will say,

“Surely this is our God;(AE)
    we trusted(AF) in him, and he saved(AG) us.
This is the Lord, we trusted in him;
    let us rejoice(AH) and be glad in his salvation.”(AI)

10 The hand of the Lord will rest on this mountain;(AJ)
    but Moab(AK) will be trampled in their land
    as straw is trampled down in the manure.
11 They will stretch out their hands in it,
    as swimmers stretch out their hands to swim.
God will bring down(AL) their pride(AM)
    despite the cleverness[a] of their hands.
12 He will bring down your high fortified walls(AN)
    and lay them low;(AO)
he will bring them down to the ground,
    to the very dust.

  1. Isaiah 25:11 The meaning of the Hebrew for this word is uncertain.

25 O Lord, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.

For thou hast made of a city an heap; of a defenced city a ruin: a palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never be built.

Therefore shall the strong people glorify thee, the city of the terrible nations shall fear thee.

For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.

Thou shalt bring down the noise of strangers, as the heat in a dry place; even the heat with the shadow of a cloud: the branch of the terrible ones shall be brought low.

And in this mountain shall the Lord of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined.

And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the vail that is spread over all nations.

He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord God will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the Lord hath spoken it.

And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the Lord; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.

10 For in this mountain shall the hand of the Lord rest, and Moab shall be trodden down under him, even as straw is trodden down for the dunghill.

11 And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst of them, as he that swimmeth spreadeth forth his hands to swim: and he shall bring down their pride together with the spoils of their hands.

12 And the fortress of the high fort of thy walls shall he bring down, lay low, and bring to the ground, even to the dust.
