The surface of the covering cast over all people,
And athe veil that is spread over all nations.
And the Lord God will bwipe away tears from all faces;
The rebuke of His people
He will take away from all the earth;
For the Lord has spoken.
“Behold, this is our God;
aWe have waited for Him, and He will save us.
This is the Lord;
We have waited for Him;
bWe will be glad and rejoice in His salvation.”
And aMoab shall be trampled down under Him,
As straw is trampled down for the refuse heap.
As a swimmer reaches out to swim,
And He will bring down their apride
Together with the trickery of their hands.
He will bring down, lay low,
And bring to the ground, down to the dust.

Isaiah 25:9
And it shall be said in that day - By the people of God. This shall be the language of exultation and joy which they shall use.
Lo, this is our God - This is the language of those who now see and hail their Deliverer. It implies that such deliverance, and such mercy could be bestowed only by God, and that the fact that such mercies had been bestowed was proof that he was their God.
We have waited for him - Amidst many trials, persecutions, and calamities, we have looked for the coming of our God to deliver us, and we will rejoice in the salvation that he brings.
This is the Lord - This is Yahweh. It is Yahweh that has brought this deliverance. None but he could do it. The plan of redeeming mercy comes from him, and to him is to be traced all the benefits which it confers on man.
