25 O LORD, I will honor and praise your name, and now you have accomplished them. 2 You turn mighty cities into heaps of ruins. and will never be rebuilt. 3 Therefore, strong nations will declare your glory; ruthless nations will fear you. 4 But you are a tower of refuge to the poor, O LORD, are like a storm beating against a wall, 5 or like the relentless heat of the desert. so the boastful songs of ruthless people are stilled. 6 In Jerusalem, the LORD of Heaven’s Armies with clear, well-aged wine and choice meat. 7 There he will remove the cloud of gloom, the shadow of death that hangs over the earth. 8 He will swallow up death forever! The LORD has spoken! 9 In that day the people will proclaim, Let us rejoice in the salvation he brings!” 10 For the LORD’s hand of blessing will rest on Jerusalem. It will be like straw trampled down and left to rot. 11 God will push down Moab’s people and all their evil works. 12 The high walls of Moab will be demolished. down into the dust.
