O LORD,
thou art my God;
I will exalt
thee, I will praise
thy name;
for thou hast done
wonderful
things; thy counsels
of old
are faithfulness
and truth.
For thou hast made
of a city
an heap;
of a defenced
city
a ruin:
a palace
of strangers
to be no city;
it shall never
be built.
Therefore shall the strong
people
glorify
thee, the city
of the terrible
nations
shall fear
thee.
For thou hast been a strength
to the poor,
a strength
to the needy
in his distress,
a refuge
from the storm,
a shadow
from the heat,
when the blast
of the terrible ones
is as a storm
against the wall.

Thou shalt bring down
the noise
of strangers,
as the heat
in a dry place;
even the heat
with the shadow
of a cloud:
the branch
of the terrible ones
shall be brought low.
And in this mountain
shall the LORD
of hosts
make
unto all people
a feast
of fat things,
a feast
of wines on the lees,
of fat things
full of marrow,
of wines on the lees
well refined.
And he will destroy
in this mountain
the face
of the covering
cast over
all people,
and the vail
that is spread
over all nations.
He will swallow up
death
in victory;
and the Lord
GOD
will wipe away
tears
from off all faces;
and the rebuke
of his people
shall he take away
from off all the earth:
for the LORD
hath spoken
it.
And it shall be said
in that day,
Lo, this is our God;
we have waited
for him, and he will save
us: this is the LORD;
we have waited
for him, we will be glad
and rejoice
in his salvation.
For in this mountain
shall the hand
of the LORD
rest,
and Moab
shall be trodden down
under him, even as straw
is trodden down
for the dunghill.
And he shall spread forth
his hands
in the midst
of them, as he that swimmeth
spreadeth forth
his hands to swim:
and he shall bring down
their pride
together with the spoils
of their hands.
And the fortress
of the high fort
of thy walls
shall he bring down,
lay low,
and bring
to the ground,
even to the dust.
