Isaiah 25

Praise for Salvation

¹Yahweh, you are my God; I will exalt you.

for you have done wonderful things,

²For you have made the city a heap,[#Literally “placed”]

the palace of foreigners is no longer a city;

³Therefore strong peoples will glorify you;

⁴For you have been a refuge to the poor,

a shelter from the rainstorm,

For the breath of the ruthless was like a rainstorm against a wall,

You subdued the heat with the shade of a cloud;

⁶And on this mountain Yahweh of hosts will make for all peoples a rich feast,[#Literally “feast of fat”]

⁷And on this mountain he will destroy the face of the shroud,[#Literally “engulf”]

⁸He will destroy death forever,[#Literally “engulf”]

for Yahweh has spoken.

⁹And one will say, on that day,

“Look! This is our God! We have waited for him and he saved us!

Let us be glad,

¹⁰For the hand of Yahweh will rest on this mountain,

¹¹And it will spread out its hands in the midst of it,[#Moab]

¹²And he will throw down the fortification of the high point of your walls;

he will send it to the ground,
