1. O Lord, You are my God.I will exalt You,I will praise Your name,For You have done wonderful things;Your counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.
2. 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.
3. Therefore the strong people will 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,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 this mountainThe Lord of hosts will make for all peopleA 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 mountainThe surface of the covering cast over all people,And the veil that is spread over all nations.
8. He will swallow up death forever,And the Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces;The rebuke of His peopleHe will take away from all the earth;For the Lord has spoken.
