Isaiah 25:1-4

1Lord, you are my God! I will praise you because your name is great. You have done wonderful things. You decided a long time ago what you would do. And you have done exactly what you promised to do.

2You have destroyed cities so that they become a heap of stones. You have destroyed the strongest cities. The beautiful palaces in foreign lands have disappeared. Nobody will build them again.

3So people of strong nations will praise you. The people of cruel nations will be afraid of you.

4You Lord have been a safe place for poor people. When helpless people were in trouble, you have kept them safe. You were a place for them to hide from the storm. You gave them shade from the heat. Yes, cruel people attack them like a storm that hits against a wall.
