Isaiah 25:1-5

Legacy Standard Bible

25 O Yahweh, You are ^(A)my God;
I will exalt You, I will give thanks to Your name;
For You have ^(B)worked wonders,
^(C)Counsels formed long ago, with perfect faithfulness.
² For You have made a city into a ^(D)heap,
A ^(E)fortified town into a ruin;
A ^(F)palace of strangers is a city no more,
It will never be rebuilt.
³ Therefore a strong people will ^(G)glorify You;
^(H)Towns of ruthless nations will fear You.
⁴ For You have been a ^(I)strong defense for the poor,
A strong defense for the needy 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.
⁵ Like heat in a dry land, You subdue the ^(L)rumbling of strangers;
Like heat by the shadow of a cloud, the song of the ruthless is ^[a]silenced.
