Song of Praise for God's Favor

1 O LORD, You are 1my God; I will exalt You, I will give thanks to Your name; For You have 2worked wonders, 3Plans formed long ago, with perfect faithfulness.
2 For You have made a city into a 4heap, A 5fortified city into a ruin; A 6palace of strangers is a city no more, It will never * be rebuilt.
3 Therefore * a strong people will 7glorify You; 8Cities of ruthless nations will revere You.
4 For You have been a 9defense for the helpless, A defense for the needy in his distress, A 10refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat; For the breath of the 11ruthless Is like a rain storm against a wall.
5 Like heat in drought, You subdue the 12uproar of aliens; Like heat by the shadow of a cloud, the song of the ruthless is silenced.
