Isaiah 25:1-5

Listen to Isaiah 25:1-5

Salvation and Judgment on That Day

1 Lord, You are my God; I will exalt You. I will praise Your name, for You have accomplished wonders, plans [formed] long ago, with perfect faithfulness.
2 For You have turned the city into a pile of rubble, a fortified city, into a ruin; the fortress of barbarians is no longer a city; it will never be rebuilt.
3 Therefore, a strong people will honor You. A city of violent people[a] will fear You.
4 For You have been a stronghold for the poor, a stronghold for the humble person in his distress, a refuge from the rain, a shade from the heat. When the breath of the violent is like rain [against] a wall,
5 like heat in a dry land, You subdue the uproar of barbarians. As[b] the shade of a cloud [cools] the heat of the day, [so] He stills the song of the violent.
