Isaiah 25 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Song of Praise for God’s Favor

Isa 25:1

LORD, You are my God;

I will exalt You, I will give thanks to Your name;

For You have worked wonders,

Plans formed long ago, with perfect faithfulness.

Isa 25:2

For You have turned a city into a heap,

A fortified city into a ruin;

A palace of strangers is no longer a city,

It will never be rebuilt.

Isa 25:3

Therefore a strong people will glorify You;

Cities of ruthless nations will revere You.

Isa 25:4

For You have been a stronghold for the helpless,

A stronghold for the poor in his distress,

A refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat;

For the breath of the ruthless

Is like a rain storm against a wall.

Isa 25:5

Like heat in a dry land, You subdue the uproar of foreigners;

Like heat by the shadow of a cloud, the song of the ruthless is [fn]silenced.

Isa 25:6

Now the LORD of armies will prepare a [fn]lavish banquet for all peoples on this mountain;

A banquet of [fn]aged wine, [fn]choice pieces with marrow,

And [fn]refined, aged wine.

Isa 25:7

And on this mountain He will destroy the [fn]covering which is over all peoples,

The veil which is [fn]stretched over all nations.

Isa 25:8

He will [fn]swallow up death for all time,

And the Lord [fn]GOD will wipe tears away from all faces,

And He will remove the disgrace of His people from all the earth;

For the LORD has spoken.

Isa 25:9

And it will be said on that day,

“Behold, this is our God for whom we have waited [fn]that He might save us.

This is the LORD for whom we have waited;

Let’s rejoice and be glad in His salvation.”

Isa 25:10

For the hand of the LORD will rest on this mountain,

And Moab will be trampled down in his place

As straw is trampled down in the water of a manure pile.

Isa 25:11

And he will spread out his hands in the middle of it

As a swimmer spreads out his hands to swim,

But the Lord will lay low his pride together with the trickery of his hands.

Isa 25:12

The unassailable fortifications of your walls He will bring down,

Lay low, and throw to the ground, to the dust.
