1O LORD my God, you I will exalt; I will give thanks to your name, for you have done a wonder, counsels from afar, faithfulness and faithfulness.2For you have made a city into a heap, a fortified town into ruin; the palace of foreigners is no longer a city; it will never be rebuilt.3Therefore strong people will honor you; the town of ruthless nations will fear you.4Because you have been a stronghold for the poor, a stronghold for the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shade from the drought; for the spirit of the ruthless is like a storm against a wall.5Like drought in dryness, you humble the roar of strangers; like drought in the shadow of a cloud, the song of the ruthless is humbled.6And the LORD of hosts will make for all the peoples on this mountain a feast of oils, a feast of dregs, oils full of marrow, dregs refined.7And on this mountain he will swallow up the face of the covering that covers all the peoples and the veil that is woven upon all the nations.8He will swallow up death forever; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from every face, and the reproach of his people he will remove from all the earth, for the LORD has spoken.9And it will be said on that day, Behold, this is our God; we have waited for him and he will save us; this is the LORD; we have waited for him; let us rejoice and be glad in his salvation.10For the hand of the LORD will rest on this mountain, and Moab will be trodden down under him like the treading of straw in the dunghill.11And he will spread out his hands in its midst as the swimmer spreads out his hands to swim, and he will bring down his pride together with the skill of his hands.12And the fortified high refuge of your walls he has brought low; he has humbled it, brought it down to the ground, down to the dust.
