Isaiah 25
New King James Version
Praise to God
25 O Lord, You are my God.
(A)I will exalt You,
I will praise Your name,
(B)For You have done wonderful things;
(C)Your counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.
2 For You have made (D)a city a ruin,
A fortified city a ruin,
A palace of foreigners to be a city no more;
It will never be rebuilt.
3 Therefore the strong people will (E)glorify You;
The city of the [a]terrible nations will fear You.
4 For You have been a strength to the poor,
A strength to the needy in his distress,
(F)A refuge from the storm,
A shade from the heat;
For the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.
5 You will reduce the noise of aliens,
As heat in a dry place;
As heat in the shadow of a cloud,
The song of the terrible ones will be [b]diminished.
6 And in (G)this mountain
(H)The Lord of hosts will make for (I)all people
A feast of [c]choice pieces,
A feast of [d]wines on the lees,
Of fat things full of marrow,
Of well-refined wines on the lees.
7 And He will destroy on this mountain
The surface of the covering cast over all people,
And (J)the veil that is spread over all nations.
8 He will (K)swallow up death forever,
And the Lord God will (L)wipe away tears from all faces;
The rebuke of His people
He will take away from all the earth;
For the Lord has spoken.
9 And it will be said in that day:
“Behold, this is our God;
(M)We have waited for Him, and He will save us.
This is the Lord;
We have waited for Him;
(N)We will be glad and rejoice in His salvation.”
10 For on this mountain the hand of the Lord will rest,
And (O)Moab shall be trampled down under Him,
As straw is trampled down for the refuse heap.
11 And He will spread out His hands in their midst
As a swimmer reaches out to swim,
And He will bring down their (P)pride
Together with the trickery of their hands.
12 The (Q)fortress of the high fort of your walls
He will bring down, lay low,
And bring to the ground, down to the dust.

Isaiah 25
Revised Geneva Translation
25 O LORD, You are my God! I will exalt You. I will praise Your Name. For You have done wonderful things, ancient counsel, with firm faithfulness!
2 For You have made a heap of a city, a ruin of a strong city, a fortress of strangers to be no city. It shall never be built.
3 Therefore, the mighty people shall give glory to You. The city of the strong nations shall fear You.
4 For You have been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his trouble, a refuge from the storm, a shade in the heat. For the blast of the mighty is like a hard rain against the wall.
5 You shall bring down the noise of the strangers, as the heat in a dry place. He will bring down the song of the mighty, as the heat with the shade of a cloud.
6 And on this mountain shall the LORD of Hosts make a feast of fat things for all people, a feast of refined wines, of fat things full of marrow, of refined and purified wines.
7 And on this mountain, He will destroy the covering that covers all people, and the veil that is spread upon all nations.
8 He will destroy death forever. And the LORD God will wipe away the tears from all faces. And He will take away the rebuke of His people out of all the Earth. For the LORD has spoken it.
9 And on that day men shall say, “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 rejoice and be joyful in salvation!”
10 For on this mountain shall the hand of the LORD rest. And Moab shall be threshed under Him, as straw is threshed in Madmenah.
11 And He shall stretch out His hand in the midst of them, as he who swims stretches out to swim. And with the strength of His hands He shall bring down their pride.
12 Also, He shall bring down the defense of the height of your walls and lay them low, cast them to the ground, into the dust.
