The deliverance and ingathering of Judah

   1   O Lord, thou art my God;
  I will exalt thee and praise thy name;
  for thou hast accomplished a wonderful purpose,
  certain and sure, from of old.
   2   For thou hast turned cities ^note into heaps of ruin,
  and fortified towns into rubble;
  every mansion in the cities is swept away,
    never to be rebuilt.
   3   For this a cruel nation holds thee in honour,
  the cities of ruthless nations fear thee.
   4   Truly thou hast been a refuge to the poor,
  a refuge to the needy in his trouble,
shelter from the tempest and shade from the heat.
  For the blast of the ruthless is like an icy storm
     5   or a scorching drought;
    thou subduest the roar of the foe, ^note
    and the song of the ruthless dies away.

6   On this mountain the Lord of Hosts will prepare
    a banquet of rich fare for all the peoples,
  a banquet of wines well matured and richest fare,
    well-matured wines strained clear.
7   On this mountain the Lord will swallow up
  that veil that shrouds all the peoples,
  the pall thrown over all the nations;
   8   he will swallow up death for ever.
Then the Lord God will wipe away the tears
    from every face
and remove the reproach of his people from the whole earth.
  The Lord has spoken.

   9   On that day men will say,
  See, this is our God

-- --

The deliverance and ingathering of Judah
  for whom we have waited to deliver us;
  this is the Lord for whom we have waited;
  let us rejoice and exult in his deliverance.
10   For the hand of the Lord will rest on this mountain,
  but Moab shall be trampled under his feet
  as straw is trampled into a midden.
   11   In it Moab shall spread out his hands
  as a swimmer spreads his hands to swim,
but he shall sink his pride with every stroke of his hands.
   12   The Lord has thrown down the high defences of your walls,
    has levelled them to the earth
    and brought them down to the dust.
