The Lord Protects the Weak

25 O Yahweh, you are my Elohim.
    I will highly honor you; I will praise your name.
    You have done miraculous things.
    You have been completely reliable
        in carrying out your plans from long ago.
You have turned cities into ruins,
    fortified cities into piles of rubble,
        and foreigners’ palaces into cities that will never be rebuilt.
That is why strong people will honor you,
    and cities ruled by the world’s tyrants will fear you.
