1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1O LORD, I will honor and praise your name, for you are my God. You do such wonderful things! You planned them long ago, and now you have accomplished them. |
2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2You turn mighty cities into heaps of ruins. Cities with strong walls are turned to rubble. Beautiful palaces in distant lands disappear and will never be rebuilt. |
3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3Therefore, strong nations will declare your glory; ruthless nations will fear you. |
4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4But you are a tower of refuge to the poor, O LORD, a tower of refuge to the needy in distress. You are a refuge from the storm and a shelter from the heat. For the oppressive acts of ruthless people are like a storm beating against a wall, |
5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5or like the relentless heat of the desert. But you silence the roar of foreign nations. As the shade of a cloud cools relentless heat, so the boastful songs of ruthless people are stilled. |
6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6In Jerusalem, the LORD of Heaven’s Armies will spread a wonderful feast for all the people of the world. It will be a delicious banquet with clear, well-aged wine and choice meat. |
7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7There he will remove the cloud of gloom, the shadow of death that hangs over the earth. |
8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8He will swallow up death forever! The Sovereign LORD will wipe away all tears. He will remove forever all insults and mockery against his land and people. The LORD has spoken! |
9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9In that day the people will proclaim, “This is our God! We trusted in him, and he saved us! This is the LORD, in whom we trusted. Let us rejoice in the salvation he brings!” |
10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10For the LORD’s hand of blessing will rest on Jerusalem. But Moab will be crushed. It will be like straw trampled down and left to rot. |
11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11God will push down Moab’s people as a swimmer pushes down water with his hands. He will end their pride and all their evil works. |
12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12The high walls of Moab will be demolished. They will be brought down to the ground, down into the dust. |
