Isaiah 25 New King James Version (NKJV)

Praise to God

25 O Lord, You are my God.
^(A)I will exalt You,
I will praise Your name,
^(B)For You have done wonderful things;
^(C)Your counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.
²For You have made ^(D)a city a ruin,
A fortified city a ruin,
A palace of foreigners to be a city no more;
It will never be rebuilt.
³Therefore the strong people will ^(E)glorify You;
The city of the ^[a]terrible nations will fear You.
⁴For You have been a strength to the poor,
A strength to the needy in his distress,
^(F)A refuge from the storm,
A shade from the heat;
For the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.
⁵You will reduce the noise of aliens,
As heat in a dry place;
As heat in the shadow of a cloud,
The song of the terrible ones will be ^[b]diminished.

⁶And in ^(G)this mountain
^(H)The Lord of hosts will make for ^(I)all people
A feast of ^[c]choice pieces,
A feast of ^[d]wines on the lees,
Of fat things full of marrow,
Of well-refined wines on the lees.
⁷And He will destroy on this mountain
The surface of the covering cast over all people,
And ^(J)the veil that is spread over all nations.
⁸He will ^(K)swallow up death forever,
And the Lord God will ^(L)wipe away tears from all faces;
The rebuke of His people
He will take away from all the earth;
For the Lord has spoken.

⁹And it will be said in that day:
“Behold, this is our God;
^(M)We have waited for Him, and He will save us.
This is the Lord;
We have waited for Him;
^(N)We will be glad and rejoice in His salvation.”

¹⁰For on this mountain the hand of the Lord will rest,
And ^(O)Moab shall be trampled down under Him,
As straw is trampled down for the refuse heap.
¹¹And He will spread out His hands in their midst
As a swimmer reaches out to swim,
And He will bring down their ^(P)pride
Together with the trickery of their hands.
¹²The ^(Q)fortress of the high fort of your walls
He will bring down, lay low,
And bring to the ground, down to the dust.
