vs 1 O Jehovah, my God, I’ll glorify You, and to Your Name, I’ll sing praises, because of the wonderful things You have done, and because Your ancient council proved true… May it ever be so!
vs 2 The towns have been turned into rubble, as have the foundations of cities… and these cities of the godless will not be rebuilt throughout the rest of the age.
vs 3 Because of this, I offer You praise… with the poor and the wronged, I praise You!
vs 4 For to cities of the meek, You sent aid, and You’ve rescued all the depressed… those whom You saved from the wicked. To the thirsty, You are a protector… You’re an inviting breeze to those who’ve been wronged.
vs 5 For You’ve rescued Zion’s worried and thirsty… from godless men, You have saved us!
vs 6 At that time, Jehovah of Armies will hold a great feast for the nations… yes, on this mountain, they’ll drink wine in joy.
vs 7 And with perfumed oil, they’ll anoint on this hill. Then, even for the gentiles, You’ll do this, since this is a plan for all nations.
vs 8 And from the mouth of the Lord came these words: ‘Then death, which prevails, will be swallowed; yes, Jehovah will wipe the tears from each face, and remove the disgrace from earth’s peoples.’
vs 9 And in that day, they will say: ‘Look! This is our God in whom we have hoped… the One who brought us salvation. This is Jehovah… We’ve waited for Him! And because He has brought us salvation, we’ll joyfully shout praises of Him!’
vs 10 Then, on this mountain, God will bring rest, while the land of Moab is trampled like a threshing floor rolled on by wagons.
vs 11 He’ll unfold His hands and snatch up the haughty… for their insolence.
vs 12 He will destroy them… and the high walls of their homes will be broken.
