Isaiah 25:3-5

The Voice

³This is why nations strong and mighty will glorify You;
the cities of ruthless people will fear and respect You.

⁴Because You stand up for the poor and weak,
    You comfort and empower them in their distress,
Giving them safe harbor and cool shade when it’s hot;
    You shelter them from their oppressors’ blows
As a strong wall holds back the driving rain.
⁵You shelter from the relentless heat of the desert.
    You quiet the clamor of outsiders, ease them to stillness.
Like a full, dark cloud relieves the heat,
    You silence the arrogant song of the violent.
