25. The bars of his gates will be made out of iron and bronze. His strength will last as long as he lives.
26. "There is no one like the God of Israel. He rides in the heavens to help you. He rides on the clouds in his glory.
27. God lives forever! You can run to him for safety. His powerful arms are always there to carry you. He will drive out your enemies to make room for you. He'll say to you, 'Destroy them!'
28. So Israel will live alone in safety. Jacob's spring of water is safe in a land that has grain and fresh wine. There the heavens drop their dew.
29. Israel , how blessed you are! Who is like you? The Lord has saved you. He keeps you safe. He helps you. He's like a glorious sword to you. Your enemies will bow down to you in fear. You will bring them under your control."
