1. Lord, you are my God.I will exalt you; I will praise your name,for you have done wonderful things,planned long ago, faithful and sure.
2. You have turned the city into rubble,the fortified town into a ruin,the fortress of foreigners into a city no more,never to be rebuilt.
3. Therefore, strong people will glorify you;the towns of tyrant nations will fear you.
4. You have been a refuge for the poor,a refuge for the needy in distress,a hiding place from the storm,a shade from the heat.When the breath of tyrants is like a winter storm
5. or like heat in the desert,you subdue the roar of foreigners.Like heat shaded by a cloud,the tyrants’ song falls silent.
6. On this mountain,the Lord of heavenly forces will prepare for all peoplesa rich feast, a feast of choice wines,of select foods rich in flavor,of choice wines well refined.
