| 1 O Jehovah, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy
name; for thou hast done wonderful things, even counsels of old, in
faithfulness and truth. 2 For thou hast made of a city a heap, of
a fortified city a ruin, a palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never
be built. 3 Therefore shall a strong people glorify thee; a city of
terrible nations shall fear thee. 4 For thou hast been a stronghold to the
poor, a stronghold to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a
shade from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm
against the wall. 5 As the heat in a dry place wilt thou bring down the
noise of strangers; as the heat by the shade of a cloud, the song of the
terrible ones shall be brought low. 6 And in this mountain will Jehovah of
hosts make unto all peoples 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.
7 And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering that
covereth all peoples, and the veil that is spread over all nations. 8 He
hath swallowed up death for ever; and the Lord Jehovah will wipe away tears
from off all faces; and the reproach of his people will he take away from off
all the earth: for Jehovah hath spoken it. 9 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 Jehovah; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his
salvation. 10 For in this mountain will the hand of Jehovah rest; and Moab
shall be trodden down in his place, even as straw is trodden down in the
water of the dung-hill. 11 And he shall spread forth his hands in the
midst thereof, as he that swimmeth spreadeth forth his hands to swim;
but Jehovah will lay low his pride together with the craft of his
hands. 12 And the high fortress of thy walls hath he brought down, laid
low, and brought to the ground, even to the dust.
