1O Lord <03068>, you <0859> are my God <0430>! I will exalt <07426> you in praise <03034>, I will extol your fame <08034>. For <03588> you have done <06213> extraordinary things <06382>, and executed plans <06098> made long ago <07350> exactly as you decreed.
2Indeed <03588>, you have made <07760> the city <05892> into a heap <01530> of rubble, the fortified <01219> town <07151> into a heap of ruins <04654>; the fortress <0759> of foreigners <02114> is no longer a city <05892>, it will never <03808> <05769> be rebuilt <01129>.
3So <03651> a strong <05794> nation <05971> will extol <03513> you; the towns <07151> of powerful <06184> nations <01471> will fear <03372> you.
4For <03588> you are a protector <04581> for the poor <01800>, a protector <04581> for the needy <034> in their distress <06862>, a shelter <04268> from the rainstorm <02230>, a shade <06738> from the heat <02721>. Though <03588> the breath <07307> of tyrants <06184> is like a winter rainstorm <02230>,
5like heat <02721> in a dry land <06724>, you humble <03665> the boasting <07588> foreigners <02114>. Just as the shadow <06738> of a cloud <05645> causes the heat <02721> to subside, so he causes the song <02158> of tyrants <06184> to cease <06030>.
6The Lord <03068> who commands armies <06635> will hold <06213> a banquet <04960> for all <03605> the nations <05971> on this mountain <02022>. At this <02088> banquet <04960> there <08105> will be plenty of meat <08081> and aged wine <08105>– tender meat <08081> and choicest <02212> wine.
7On this <02088> mountain <02022> he will swallow up <01104> the shroud <03875> that is over <03874> all <03605> the peoples <05971>, the woven <05259> covering <04541> that is over <05921> all <03605> the nations <01471>;
8he will swallow up <01104> death <04194> permanently <05331>. The sovereign <0136> Lord <03069> will wipe away <04229> the tears <01832> from <05921> every <03605> face <06440>, and remove <05493> his people’s <05971> disgrace <02781> from <05921> all <03605> the earth <0776>. Indeed <03588>, the Lord <03068> has announced <01696> it!
9At that time <03117> they <01931> will say <0559>, “Look <02009>, here <02088> is our God <0430>! We waited <06960> for him and he delivered <03467> us. Here <02088> is the Lord <03069>! We waited <06960> for him. Let’s rejoice <01523> and celebrate <08055> his deliverance <03444>!”
10For <03588> the Lord’s <03068> power <03027> will make this <02088> mountain <02022> secure <05117>. Moab <04124> will be trampled down <01758> where it stands <08478>, as a heap of straw <04963> is trampled down <01758> in a manure pile <04087>.
11Moab will spread <06566> out its hands <03027> in the middle <07130> of it, just as <0834> a swimmer <07811> spreads <06566> his hands to swim <07811>; the Lord will bring down <08213> Moab’s pride <01346> as it spreads <0698> its hands <03027>.
12The fortified city <04013> (along with the very tops <04869> of your walls <02346>) he will knock down <07817>, he will bring <08213> it down <08213>, he will throw <05060> it down <05060> to <05704> the dusty <06083> ground <0776>.
