Isaiah 25:1 - 25:5

Yahweh Will Swallow Up Death

O Yahweh, You are my God;
I will exalt You, I will give thanks to Your name;
For You have worked wonders,
Counsels formed long ago, with perfect faithfulness.
2
For You have made a city into a heap,
A fortified town into a ruin;
A palace of strangers is a city no more,
It will never be rebuilt.
3
Therefore a strong people will glorify You;
Towns of ruthless nations will fear You.
4
For You have been a strong defense for the poor,
A strong defense for the needy in his distress,
A refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat;
For the breath of the ruthless
Is like a rain storm against a wall.
5
Like heat in a dry land, You subdue the rumbling of strangers;
Like heat by the shadow of a cloud, the song of the ruthless is silenced.
