A Song of Praise to God

25 Lord, you are my God.
    I ·honor [exalt] you and praise ·you [L your name],
because you have done ·amazing [wonderful] things.
    ·You have done what you planned long ago [Your plans were made long ago];
    ·you have always done what you said you would do [they are faithful and trustworthy];
You have made the city a ·pile of rocks [L heap]
    ·and have destroyed her walls [L the fortified city into a ruin].
The ·city our enemies built with strong walls [or foreigners’ fortress] is gone;
    it will never be built again.
People from powerful nations will ·honor [glorify] you;
    ·cruel people from strong cities [L cities of cruel/ruthless people] will fear you.
