¹ O LORD, You are my God; I will exalt You, I will praise Your name, for You have done wonderful things, even purposes planned of old in faithfulness and truth. ² For You have made a city a heap, a fortified city a ruin, a palace of aliens without a city ; it will never be rebuilt. ³ Therefore a strong people will glorify You, a city of terrible and ruthless nations will fear You. ⁴ For You have been a stronghold for the poor, a stronghold for the needy in his distress, a shelter from the storm, a shade from the heat; for the blast of the ruthless ones is like a rainstorm against a wall. ⁵ As the heat in a dry land You will bring down the noise of aliens ; and as the heat is brought low by the shadow of a cloud, so the song of the ruthless ones is brought low. ⁶ And on this Mount shall the Lord of hosts make for all peoples a feast of rich things , a feast of wines on the lees--of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined. ⁷ And He will destroy on this mountain the covering of the face that is cast over the heads of all peoples , and the veil that is woven and spread over all nations. ⁸ He will swallow up death . And the Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces; and the reproach of His people He will take away from off all the earth; for the Lord has spoken it. ⁹ It shall be said in that day, Behold our God upon Whom we have waited and hoped, that He might save us! This is the Lord, we have waited for Him; we will be glad and rejoice in His salvation. ¹⁰ For the hand of the Lord shall rest on this Mount , and Moab shall be threshed and trodden down in his place as straw is trodden down in the water of a cesspit. ¹¹ And though stretches forth his hands in the midst of as a swimmer stretches out his hands to swim, the Lord will bring down pride in spite of the skillfulness of his hands and together with the spoils of his hands. ¹² And the high fortifications of your walls will bring down, lay low, and bring to the ground, even to the dust.
