Isaiah 25
25
Praise to the Lord
1O Lord, You are my God.
I will exalt You, I will praise Your name, # Ex 15:2
for You have done wonderful things; # Ps 98:1
Your plans formed of old
are faithfulness and truth.
2For You have made a city into a heap,
a fortified city into a ruin; # Isa 13:22; 17:1
a palace of strangers is a city no longer;
it shall never be built.
3Therefore a strong people shall glorify You;
cities of ruthless nations shall fear You.
4For You have been a defense to the poor,
a defense to the needy in his distress,
a refuge from the storm,
a shadow from the heat; # Isa 32:2
for the breath of the ruthless ones
is as a storm against the wall.
5You bring down the noise of strangers,
as heat in drought;
as the heat by the shadow of a cloud,
the song of the ruthless ones shall be brought low.
6In this mountain the Lord of Hosts # Isa 2:2–3 shall prepare
for all people a lavish feast,
a feast of aged wines,
choice pieces full of marrow, # Ps 63:5 and refined, aged wines.
7He will destroy in this mountain
the covering which is over all peoples,
even the veil that is spread over all nations. # 2Co 4:3–4; Eph 4:18
8He will swallow up death for all time, # Hos 13:14; 1Co 15:54
and the Lord God will wipe away tears
from all faces; # Rev 21:4
and the reproach of His people He shall take away
from all the earth,
for the Lord has spoken it.
9It shall be said in that day:
Behold, this is our God,
for whom we have waited that He might save us.
This is the Lord for whom we have waited; # Ge 49:18
we will be glad and rejoice in His salvation. # Ps 20:5
10For in this mountain # Isa 25:6 the hand of the Lord shall rest,
and Moab shall be trodden down in his place # Jer 48:2
as straw is trodden down in the water for the manure pile.
11He shall spread out his hands in the midst of it, # Isa 5:25; 14:26
as a swimmer spreads out his hands to swim,
yet the Lord shall bring down his pride
together with the trickery of his hands.
12The unassailable fortresses of your walls
He shall bring down, lay low,
and bring to the ground,
even to the dust. # Isa 26:5
