# Isaiah 25

*The prophet praiseth God for his salvation.*

**1** Olord, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.
**2** For thou hast made of a city a heap; of a defenced city a ruin; a palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never be built.
**3** Therefore shall the strong people glorify thee, the city of the terrible nations shall fear thee.
**4** For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.
**5** Thou shalt bring down the noise of strangers, as the heat in a dry place; even the heat with the shadow of a cloud; the branch of the terrible ones shall be brought low.
**6** And in this mountain shall the Lord of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined.
**7** And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the veil that is spread over all nations.
**8** He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord God will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth; for the Lord hath spoken it.
**9** And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us; this is the Lord; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.
**10** For in this mountain shall the hand of the Lord rest, and Moab shall be trodden down under him, even as straw is trodden down for the dunghill.
**11** And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst of them, as he that swimmeth spreadeth forth his hands to swim; and he shall bring down their pride together with the spoils of their hands.
**12** And the fortress of the high fort of thy walls shall he bring down, lay low, and bring to the ground, even to the dust.
