Isaiah 25:2

Praise For Salvation

¹ O 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.
² For You have made a city into a heap,
A fortified city into a ruin;
A palace of strangers is a city no more,
It will never be rebuilt.
³ Therefore a strong people will glorify You;
Cities of ruthless nations will revere You.
