Mazmur 75:1

Psalm 75 ¹ 

For the music director; according to the al-tashcheth style; ²  a psalm of Asaph; a song.

75:1 We give thanks to you, O God! We give thanks!

You reveal your presence; ³ 

people tell about your amazing deeds.

Yesaya 54:16-17

54:16 Look, I create the craftsman,

who fans the coals into a fire

and forges a weapon. ⁴ 

I create the destroyer so he might devastate.

54:17 No weapon forged to be used against you will succeed;

you will refute everyone who tries to accuse you. ⁵ 

This is what the Lord will do for his servants –

I will vindicate them,” ⁶ 

says the Lord.

Zakharia 12:9

12:9 So on that day I will set out to destroy all the nations ⁷  that come against Jerusalem.”
