Praise to God

O LORD, You are my God.

I will exalt You,

I will praise Your name,

For Your have done wonderful things;

Your counsels of old are faithfulness

and truth.

For You have made a city a ruin,

A fortified city a ruin,

 A palace of foreigners to be a city

no more;

It will never be rebuilt.

Therefore the strong people will

glorify You;

The city of the terrible nations will

fear You.

For You have been a strength to the

poor,

A strength to the needy in his

distress,

A refuge from the storm,

A shade  from the heat;

For the blast of the terrible ones is

as a storm against the wall.

You will reduce the noise of aliens,

As heat in a dry place;

As heat in the shadow of a cloud,

The song of the terrible ones will be 

diminished.

And in this mountain

The LORD of hosts will make for all

people

A feast pf choice pieces,

A feast of wines on the lees.

Of fat things full of marrow,

Of well-refined wines on the lees.

And He will destroy on this

mountain

The  surface of the covering cast 

over all people,

And the veil  that is spread over all

nations.

He will swallow up death forever,

And the LORD GOD will wipe away

tears from all faces;

The rebuke of His people

He will take away from all the

earth;

For the LORD has spoken.

And it will be said in 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;

We will be glad and rejoice in His 

salvation."

For on this mountain the hand of 

the LORD will rest,

And Moab shall be trampled down

under Him,

As straw is trampled down for the

refuse heap.

And He will spread out His hands in

their midst

As he who swims spreads out his

hands to swim,

And He will bring down their pride

Together with the trickery of their

hands.

The fortress of the high fort of your 

walls

He will bring down, lay low,

And bring to the ground, down to 

the dust.
