Chapter 25

Praise for God’s Deliverance and the Celebration in Zion[a]

O Lord, you are my God,
    I extol you, I praise your name;
For you have carried out your wonderful plans of old,
    faithful and true.(A)
For you have made the city a heap,
    the fortified city a ruin,
The castle of the insolent, a city no more,
    not ever to be rebuilt.(B)
Therefore a strong people will honor you,
    ruthless nations will fear you.
