1O Yehovah, you are my God; I will exalt you, I will praise your name; for you have done wonderful things, even counsels of old, in faithfulness and truth. 2For you have 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. 3Therefore a strong people shall glorify you; a city of terrible nations shall fear you. 4For you have 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. 5As the heat in a dry place you will 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. 6And in this mountain Yehovah of hosts will make for 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. 7And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering that covers all peoples, and the veil that is spread over all nations. 8He has swallowed up death forever; and the Lord Yehovah will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the reproach of his people he will take away from off all the earth: for Yehovah has spoken it. 9And it shall be said in that day, Look, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is Yehovah; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation. 10For in this mountain the hand of Yehovah will rest; and Moab shall be trodden down in his place, even as straw is trodden down in the water of the dunghill. 11And he shall spread forth his hands in its midst, as he who swims spreads forth his hands to swim; but Yehovah will lay low his pride together with the craft of his hands. 12And the high fortress of your walls he has brought down, laid low, and brought to the ground, even to the dust.
