1 Praise to God O Lord , You are my God. Ex. 15:2 I will exalt You, I will praise Your name, Ps. 98:1 For You have done wonderful things; Num. 23:19 Your counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.
2 For You have made Is. 21:9; 23:13; Jer. 51:37 a city a ruin, A fortified city a ruin, A palace of foreigners to be a city no more; It will never be rebuilt.
3 Therefore the strong people will Is. 24:15; Rev. 11:13 glorify You; The city of the terrible nations will fear You.
4 For You have been a strength to the poor, A strength to the needy in his distress, Is. 4:6 A refuge from the storm, A shade from the heat; For the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.
5 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.
6 And in (Is. 2:2–4; 56:7) this mountain Prov. 9:2; Matt. 22:4 The Lord of hosts will make for (Dan. 7:14; Matt. 8:11) all people A feast of choice pieces, A feast of wines on the lees, Of fat things full of marrow, Of well-refined wines on the lees.
7 And He will destroy on this mountain The surface of the covering cast over all people, And 2 Cor. 3:15; (Eph. 4:18) the veil that is spread over all nations.
8 He will (Hos. 13:14;1 Cor. 15:54; Rev. 20:14) swallow up death forever, And the Lord God will Is. 30:19; Rev. 7:17; 21:4 wipe away tears from all faces; The rebuke of His people He will take away from all the earth; For the Lord has spoken.
9 And it will be said in that day: “Behold, this is our God; Gen. 49:18; Is. 8:17; 26:8; (Titus 2:13) We have waited for Him, and He will save us. This is the Lord ; We have waited for Him; Ps. 20:5 We will be glad and rejoice in His salvation.”
10 For on this mountain the hand of the Lord will rest, And Is. 16:14; Jer. 48:1–47; Ezek. 25:8–11; Amos 2:1–3; Zeph. 2:9 Moab shall be trampled down under Him, As straw is trampled down for the refuse heap.
11 And He will spread out His hands in their midst As a swimmer reaches out to swim, And He will bring down their Is. 24:4; 26:5 pride Together with the trickery of their hands.
12 The Is. 26:5 fortress of the high fort of your walls He will bring down, lay low, And bring to the ground, down to the dust.
