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 wall5 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.

1 [Domine, Deus meus es tu ;exaltabo te, et confitebor nomini tuo :quoniam fecisti mirabilia,cogitationes antiquas fideles. Amen.2 Quia posuisti civitatem in tumulum,urbem fortem in ruinam, domum alienorum :ut non sit civitas,et in sempiternum non dificetur.3 Super hoc laudabit te populus fortis ;civitas gentium robustarum timebit te :4 quia factus es fortitudo pauperi,fortitudo egeno in tribulatione sua,spes a turbine,umbraculum ab stu ;spiritus enim robustorumquasi turbo impellens parietem.5 Sicut stus in siti,tumultum alienorum humiliabis ;et quasi calore sub nube torrente,propaginem fortium marcescere facies.6 Et faciet Dominus exercituumomnibus populis in monte hocconvivium pinguium,convivium vindemi,pinguium medullatorum,vindemi defcat.7 Et prcipitabit in monte istofaciem vinculi colligati super omnes populos,et telam quam orditus est super omnes nationes.8 Prcipitabit mortem in sempiternum ;et auferet Dominus Deuslacrimam ab omni facie,et opprobrium populi sui auferetde universa terra :quia Dominus locutus est.]9 [Et dicet in die illa :Ecce Deus noster iste ;exspectavimus eum, et salvabit nos ;iste Dominus, sustinuimus eum :exsultabimus, et ltabimur in salutari ejus.10 Quia requiescet manus Dominiin monte isto ;et triturabitur Moab sub eo,sicuti teruntur pale in plaustro.11 Et extendet manus suas sub eosicut extendit natans ad natandum ;et humiliabit gloriam ejuscum allisione manuum ejus.12 Et munimenta sublimium murorum tuorumconcident, et humiliabuntur,et detrahentur in terram usque ad pulverem.]
