A Song of Praise to the Lord

25 Lord, you are my God.
    I will honor you.
    I will praise your name.
You have been perfectly faithful.
    You have done wonderful things.
    You had planned them long ago.
You have turned cities into piles of trash.
    You have pulled down the high walls that were around them.
You have destroyed our enemies’ forts.
    They will never be rebuilt.
Powerful nations will honor you.
    Even sinful people from their cities will have respect for you.
