¹ 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.
² 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 [not to perpetuity] be built.
³ Therefore shall the strong people glorify thee,
the city of the terrible nations shall fear thee.
⁴ 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.
⁵ 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 bought low.

⁶ 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.
⁷ And he will destroy in this mountain
the face of the coverering cast over all people,
and the vail that is spread over all nations.
⁸ 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.
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 the LORD;
we have waited for him,
we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.
¹⁰ 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.
¹¹ 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.
¹² 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.
