Allah, 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. 2For 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. 3Therefore shall a strong people glorify you; a city of awesome nations shall fear you. 4For 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 awesome ones is as a storm against the wall. 5As the heat in a dry place will you bring down the noise of strangers; as the heat by the shade of a cloud, the song of the awesome ones shall be brought low. 6In this mountain will Allah, Lord of the universe 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. 7He will destroy in this mountain the surface of the covering that covers all peoples, and the veil that is spread over all nations. 8He has swallowed up death forever;[1] and the Lord Allah will wipe away every tear from their faces[2]; and the reproach of his people will he take away from off all the earth: for Allah has spoken it. 9It shall be said in that day, Behold, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is Allah; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation. 10For in this mountain will the hand of Allah rest; and Moab shall be trodden down in his place, even as straw is trodden down in the water of the dung-hill. 11He shall spread forth his hands in the midst of it, as he who swims spreads forth his hands to swim; but Allah will lay low his pride together with the craft of his hands. 12The high fortress of your walls has he brought down, laid low, and brought to the ground, even to the dust.
