1. God does what he says he will do (1-5)

God kept his promises in the past. Here is a hymn of praise to God for his faithfulness to do what he said he would do. He destroyed wicked and ruthless nations. He provided refuge for all who confessed their need for him and sought him in time of distress. We can trust God to continue to keep his promises.

2. On the mountain of the Lord (6-12)

The shroud of death is destroyed by Jesus' death and resurrection. But the great promise of the prophecy in this passage will be fulfilled in the new Jerusalem--the heavenly city in which the Lord will wipe away all tears and destroy death, the shroud that enfolds all people. On that day, all God's people will gather to eat together. And they will say, 'We trusted in him and he saved us.' At the same time, his hand will bring down all proud people.

Application: Lord, help me to be faithful to you to the end, and to trust you and rejoice in your salvation.
One Word: Rejoice in his salvation
