O
LORD, You are my
God; I will
exalt You, I will
give thanks to Your
name; For You have
worked wonders,
Plans formed
long ago, with
perfect faithfulness.

For You have
made a
city into a
heap, A
fortified city into a
ruin; A
palace of
strangers is a
city no more, It will
never * be
rebuilt.

Therefore * a

glorify You;
Cities of
ruthless nations will
revere You.

For You have
been a
defense for the
helpless, A
defense for the
needy in his
distress, A
refuge from the
storm, a
shade from the
heat; For the
breath of the
ruthless Is like a rain
storm against a
wall.

Like
heat in
drought, You
subdue the
uproar of
aliens; Like
heat by the
shadow of a
cloud, the
song of the
ruthless is
silenced.

The
LORD of
hosts will
prepare a
lavish banquet for
all peoples on
this mountain; A
banquet of
aged wine,
choice pieces with
marrow, And
refined,
aged wine.

And on
this mountain He will
swallow up the
covering * which is
over all peoples, Even the
veil which is
stretched over all nations.

He will
swallow up
death for
all time, And the
Lord GOD will
wipe tears away from
all faces, And He will
remove the
reproach of His
people from
all the
earth; For the
LORD has
spoken.

And it will be
said in that
day,
"Behold,
this is our
God for whom we have
waited that He might
save us.
This is the
LORD for whom we have
waited; Let us
rejoice and be
glad in His
salvation."

For the
hand of the
LORD will
rest on
this mountain, And
Moab will be
trodden down in his
place As
straw is
trodden down in the
water of a

And he will
spread out his
hands in the
middle of it As a
swimmer spreads out his hands to
swim, But the Lord will
lay low his
pride together with the
trickery of his
hands.

Lay low and
