1O LORD <03068>_, thou [art] my God <0430>_; I will exalt <07311> (8787) thee, I will praise <03034> (8686) thy name <08034>_; for thou hast done <06213> (8804) wonderful <06382> [things; thy] counsels <06098> of old <07350> [are] faithfulness <0530> [and] truth <0544>_.
2For thou hast made <07760> (8804) of a city <05892> an heap <01530>_; [of] a defenced <01219> (8803) city <07151> a ruin <04654>_: a palace <0759> of strangers <02114> (8801) to be no city <05892>_; it shall never <05769> be built <01129> (8735)_.
3Therefore shall the strong <05794> people <05971> glorify <03513> (8762) thee, the city <07151> of the terrible <06184> nations <01471> shall fear <03372> (8799) thee.
4For thou hast been a strength <04581> to the poor <01800>_, a strength <04581> to the needy <034> in his distress <06862>_, a refuge <04268> from the storm <02230>_, a shadow <06738> from the heat <02721>_, when the blast <07307> of the terrible ones <06184> [is] as a storm <02230> [against] the wall <07023>_.
5Thou shalt bring down <03665> (8686) the noise <07588> of strangers <02114> (8801)_, as the heat <02721> in a dry place <06724>_; [even] the heat <02721> with the shadow <06738> of a cloud <05645>_: the branch <02159> of the terrible ones <06184> shall be brought low <06030> (8799)_.
6And in this mountain <02022> shall the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> make <06213> (8804) unto all people <05971> a feast <04960> of fat things <08081>_, a feast <04960> of wines on the lees <08105>_, of fat things <08081> full of marrow <04229> (8794)_, of wines on the lees <08105> well refined <02212> (8794)_.
7And he will destroy <01104> (8765) in this mountain <02022> the face <06440> of the covering <03875> cast over <03874> (8802) all people <05971>_, and the vail <04541> that is spread <05259> (8803) over all nations <01471>_. {destroy: Heb. swallow up} {cast: Heb. covered}
8He will swallow up <01104> (8765) death <04194> in victory <05331>_; and the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> will wipe away <04229> (8804) tears <01832> from off all faces <06440>_; and the rebuke <02781> of his people <05971> shall he take away <05493> (8686) from off all the earth <0776>_: for the LORD <03068> hath spoken <01696> (8765) [it].
9And it shall be said <0559> (8804) in that day <03117>_, Lo, this [is] our God <0430>_; we have waited <06960> (8765) for him, and he will save <03467> (8686) us: this [is] the LORD <03068>_; we have waited <06960> (8765) for him, we will be glad <01523> (8799) and rejoice <08055> (8799) in his salvation <03444>_.
10For in this mountain <02022> shall the hand <03027> of the LORD <03068> rest <05117> (8799)_, and Moab <04124> shall be trodden down <01758> (8736) under him, even as straw <04963> is trodden down <01758> (8738) for the dunghill <01119> <04087> (8675) <04325>_. {trodden down under: or, threshed, etc} {trodden down for...: or, threshed in Madmenah}
11And he shall spread forth <06566> (8765) his hands <03027> in the midst <07130> of them, as he that swimmeth <07811> (8802) spreadeth forth <06566> (8762) [his hands] to swim <07811> (8800)_: and he shall bring down <08213> (8689) their pride <01346> together with the spoils <0698> of their hands <03027>_.
12And the fortress <04013> of the high fort <04869> of thy walls <02346> shall he bring down <07817> (8689)_, lay low <08213> (8689)_, [and] bring <05060> (8689) to the ground <0776>_, [even] to the dust <06083>_.
