¹ O Yahweh, 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.² For 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.³ Therefore shall a strong people glorify you; a city of terrible nations shall fear you.⁴ For 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.⁵ As 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.

⁶ And in this mountain Yahweh of hosts will make to 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 covers all peoples, and the veil that is spread over all nations.⁸ He has swallowed up death forever; and the Lord Yahweh will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the reproach of his people he will take away from off all the earth: for Yahweh has spoken it.

⁹ And it shall be said in that day, Look, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is Yahweh; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.¹⁰ For in this mountain the hand of Yahweh will 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 swims spreads forth [his hands] to swim; but [Yahweh] will lay low his pride together with the craft of his hands.¹² And the high fortress of your walls he has brought down, laid low, and brought to the ground, even to the dust.
