A Song of Praise to God

25 Lord, you are my God.
    I honor you and praise your name,
because you did amazing things.
    The words you said long ago are completely true;
    everything happened exactly as you said it would.
And you destroyed the city that was protected by strong walls.
    Now it is only a pile of rocks.
The foreign palace has been destroyed.
    It will never be rebuilt.
That is why powerful nations will honor you.
    Powerful people from strong cities will fear you.

Therefore strong peoples will honor you;(K)
