Praise to the Victorious God

Jeremiah 51:15–19

¹O Lord, You are my God!

I will exalt You;

I will praise Your name.

For You have worked wonders—

plans formed long ago—

in perfect faithfulness.

²Indeed, You have made the city a heap of rubble,

the fortified town a ruin.

The fortress of strangers is a city no more;

it will never be rebuilt.

³Therefore, a strong people will honor You.

The cities of ruthless nations will revere You.

⁴For You have been a refuge for the poor,

a stronghold for the needy in distress,

a refuge from the storm,

a shade from the heat.

For the breath of the ruthless

is like rain against a wall,

⁵like heat in a dry land.

You subdue the uproar of foreigners.

As the shade of a cloud cools the heat,

so the song of the ruthless is silenced.

⁶On this mountain the Lord of Hosts

will prepare a lavish banquet for all the peoples,

a feast of aged wine, of choice meat,

of finely aged wine.

⁷On this mountain He will swallow up

the shroud that enfolds all peoples,

the sheet that covers all nations;

⁸He will swallow up death forever.

The Lord God will wipe away the tears from every face

and remove the disgrace of His people

from the whole earth.

For the Lord has spoken.

⁹And in that day it will be said, “Surely this is our God;

we have waited for Him, and He has saved us.

This is the Lord for whom we have waited.

Let us rejoice and be glad in His salvation.”

¹⁰For the hand of the Lord

will rest on this mountain.

But Moab will be trampled in his place

as straw is trodden into the dung pile.

¹¹He will spread out his hands within it,

as a swimmer spreads his arms to swim.

His pride will be brought low,

despite the skill of his hands.

¹²The high-walled fortress will be brought down,

cast to the ground, into the dust.
