rsv Isaiah:25:1-5
rsv@Isaiah:25:1 @ O LORD, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things, plans formed of old, faithful and sure.
rsv@Isaiah:25:2 @ For thou hast made the city a heap, the fortified city a ruin; the palace of aliens is a city no more, it will never be rebuilt.
rsv@Isaiah:25:3 @ Therefore strong peoples will glorify thee; cities of ruthless nations will fear thee.
rsv@Isaiah:25:4 @ For thou hast been a stronghold to the poor, a stronghold to the needy in his distress, a shelter from the storm and a shade from the heat; for the blast of the ruthless is like a storm against a wall,
rsv@Isaiah:25:5 @ like heat in a dry place. Thou dost subdue the noise of the aliens; as heat by the shade of a cloud, so the song of the ruthless is stilled.
