¹ O LORD, thou [art] my God; I will exalt thee; I will praise thy name for thou hast done wonders, the counsels of old, the truth unchanging.

² That thou hast turned the city into a heap; the defenced city into [a] ruin: the palace of strangers to not be [a] city; it shall never be rebuilt.

³ Therefore the strong people shall glorify thee; the city of the strong Gentiles shall fear thee.

⁴ For thou hast been strength to the poor, strength to the needy in his distress, refuge from the storm, shadow from the heat, for the force of the violent [is] as a storm [against] the wall.

⁵ As the heat in a dry place, thou shalt bring down the pride of the strangers; [even as] with heat [that burns] beneath [a] cloud, thou shalt cause the offshoot of the stout ones to wither.

⁶ And in this mountain the LORD of the hosts shall make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of purified wines, of fat things full of marrow, of purified liquids.

⁷ And he will undo in this mountain the mask of the covering with which all the peoples are covered and the veil that is extended over all the Gentiles.

⁸ He will destroy death forever; and the Lord GOD shall wipe away every tear from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people he shall take away from off all the earth: for the LORD has determined [it].

⁹ And it shall be said in that day, Behold, this [is] our God, whom we have waited for, and he has saved us: this [is] the LORD, whom we have waited for, we will be glad and rejoice in his saving health.

¹⁰ For in this mountain the hand of the LORD shall rest, and Moab shall be trodden down under him even as straw is trodden down for the dunghill.

¹¹ And he shall extend his hand in the midst of him as he that swims spreads forth [his hand] to swim: and he shall bring down his pride with the members of his hands

¹² and lay siege to the fortress of thy high walls; he shall humble it and bring it down to the ground, [even] to the dust.:
