O LORD, You are my God.
a I will exalt You,

b For You have done wonderful things;
c Your counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.
2
For You have made d 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 e 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,
f 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.

Of fat things full of marrow,
Of well-refined wines on the lees.

The surface of the covering cast over all people,
And j the veil that is spread over all nations.

And the Lord GOD will l wipe away tears from all faces;

He will take away from all the earth;
For the LORD has spoken.

And o Moab shall be trampled down under Him,
As straw is trampled down for the refuse heap.

As a swimmer reaches out to swim,
And He will bring down their p pride
Together with the trickery of their hands.

He will bring down, lay low,
And bring to the ground, down to the dust.
