Therefore a strong people will (A)glorify You;
(B)Cities of ruthless nations will revere You.
For You have been a (C)stronghold for the helpless,
A stronghold for the poor in his distress,
A (D)refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat;
For the breath of the (E)ruthless
Is like a rain storm against a wall.
Like heat in a dry land, You subdue the (F)uproar of foreigners;
Like heat by the shadow of a cloud, the song of the ruthless is [a]silenced.

  1. Isaiah 25:5 Lit humbled

Therefore strong peoples will honor you;(A)
    cities of ruthless(B) nations will revere you.
You have been a refuge(C) for the poor,(D)
    a refuge for the needy(E) in their distress,
a shelter from the storm(F)
    and a shade from the heat.
For the breath of the ruthless(G)
    is like a storm driving against a wall
    and like the heat of the desert.
You silence(H) the uproar of foreigners;(I)
    as heat is reduced by the shadow of a cloud,
    so the song of the ruthless(J) is stilled.
