A Hymn of Praise

25 Lord, you are my God;
    I will honor you and praise your name.
You have done amazing things;
    you have faithfully carried out
    the plans you made long ago.
You have turned cities into ruins
    and destroyed their fortifications.
The palaces which our enemies built
    are gone forever.
The people of powerful nations will praise you;
    you will be feared in the cities of cruel nations.

the foreigners’ stronghold(I) a city no more;
    it will never be rebuilt.(J)
Therefore strong peoples will honor you;(K)
    cities of ruthless(L) nations will revere you.
