1 Ó Senhor, tu és o meu Deus; exaltar-te-ei a ti e louvarei o teu nome, porque tens feito maravilhas e tens executado os teus conselhos antigos, fiéis e verdadeiros. 2 Porque da cidade fizeste um montão de pedras e da cidade forte, uma ruína; a fortaleza dos estranhos já não é cidade e jamais será reedificada. 3 Pelo que povos fortes te glorificarão, e a cidade das nações opressoras te temerá. 4 Porque foste a fortaleza do pobre e a fortaleza do necessitado na sua angústia; refúgio contra a tempestade e sombra contra o calor; porque dos tiranos o bufo é como a tempestade contra o muro, 5 como o calor em lugar seco. Tu abaterás o ímpeto dos estranhos; como se abranda o calor pela sombra da espessa nuvem, assim o hino triunfal dos tiranos será aniquilado.

6 O Senhor dos Exércitos dará neste monte a todos os povos um banquete de coisas gordurosas, uma festa com vinhos velhos, pratos gordurosos com tutanos e vinhos velhos bem-clarificados. 7 Destruirá neste monte a coberta que envolve todos os povos e o véu que está posto sobre todas as nações. 8 Tragará a morte para sempre, e, assim, enxugará o Senhor Deus as lágrimas de todos os rostos, e tirará de toda a terra o opróbrio do seu povo, porque o Senhor falou. 9 Naquele dia, se dirá: Eis que este é o nosso Deus, em quem esperávamos, e ele nos salvará; este é o Senhor, a quem aguardávamos; na sua salvação exultaremos e nos alegraremos. 10 Porque a mão do Senhor descansará neste monte; mas Moabe será trilhado no seu lugar, como se pisa a palha na água da cova da esterqueira; 11 no meio disto estenderá ele as mãos, como as estende o nadador para nadar; mas o Senhor lhe abaterá a altivez, não obstante a perícia das suas mãos; 12 e abaixará as altas fortalezas dos seus muros; abatê-las-á e derribá-las-á por terra, até ao pó.

1 O Jehovah, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things, even counsels of old, in faithfulness and truth. 2 For thou hast made of a city a heap, of a fortified city a ruin, a palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never be built. 3 Therefore shall a strong people glorify thee; a city of terrible nations shall fear thee. 4 For thou hast been a stronghold to the poor, a stronghold to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall. 5 As the heat in a dry place wilt thou bring down the noise of strangers; as the heat by the shade of a cloud, the song of the terrible ones shall be brought low.

6 And in this mountain will Jehovah of hosts make unto all peoples a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined. 7 And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering that covereth all peoples, and the veil that is spread over all nations. 8 He hath swallowed up death for ever; and the Lord Jehovah will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the reproach of his people will he take away from off all the earth: for Jehovah hath spoken it.

9 And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is Jehovah; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation. 10 For in this mountain will the hand of Jehovah rest; and Moab shall be trodden down in his place, even as straw is trodden down in the water of the dunghill. 11 And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst thereof, as he that swimmeth spreadeth forth his hands to swim; but Jehovah will lay low his pride together with the craft of his hands. 12 And the high fortress of thy walls hath he brought down, laid low, and brought to the ground, even to the dust.

1 LORD, you are my God; I will exalt you and praise your name, for in perfect faithfulness you have done wonderful things, things planned long ago.

2 You have made the city a heap of rubble, the fortified town a ruin, the foreigners' stronghold a city no more; it will never be rebuilt.

3 Therefore strong peoples will honor you; cities of ruthless nations will revere you.

4 You have been a refuge for the poor, a refuge for the needy in their distress, a shelter from the storm and a shade from the heat. For the breath of the ruthless is like a storm driving against a wall

5 and like the heat of the desert. You silence the uproar of foreigners; as heat is reduced by the shadow of a cloud, so the song of the ruthless is stilled.

6 On this mountain the LORD Almighty will prepare a feast of rich food for all peoples, a banquet of aged wine — the best of meats and the finest of wines.

7 On this mountain he will destroy the shroud that enfolds all peoples, the sheet that covers all nations;

8 he will swallow up death forever. The Sovereign LORD will wipe away the tears from all faces; he will remove his people's disgrace from all the earth. The LORD has spoken.

9 In that day they will say, "Surely this is our God; we trusted in him, and he saved us. This is the LORD, we trusted in him; let us rejoice and be glad in his salvation."

10 The hand of the LORD will rest on this mountain; but Moab will be trampled in their land as straw is trampled down in the manure.

11 They will stretch out their hands in it, as swimmers stretch out their hands to swim. God will bring down their pride despite the cleverness "of their hands.

12 He will bring down your high fortified walls and lay them low; he will bring them down to the ground, to the very dust.
