Isaiah 25:3-5

Good News Translation

³ The people of powerful nations will praise you;
    you will be feared in the cities of cruel nations.
⁴ The poor and the helpless have fled to you
    and have been safe in times of trouble.
You give them shelter from storms
    and shade from the burning heat.
Cruel enemies attack like a winter storm,^[a]
5     like drought in a dry land.
But you, Lord, have silenced our enemies;
    you silence the shouts of cruel people,
    as a cloud cools a hot day.
