1LORD, you are my God. I will honour you. I will praise your name. You have been perfectly faithful. You have done wonderful things. You had planned them long ago.2You have turned cities into piles of rubble. You have pulled down the high walls that were around them. You have destroyed our enemies’ forts. They will never be rebuilt.3Powerful nations will honour you. Even sinful people from their cities will have respect for you.4Poor people have come to you for safety. You have kept needy people safe when they were in trouble. You have been a place to hide when storms came. You have been a shade from the heat of the sun. Evil people attack us. They are like a storm beating against a wall.5They are like the heat of the desert. You stopped the noisy shouts of our enemies. You kept them from winning the battle over us and singing about it. You are like the shadow of a cloud that cools the earth.6On Mount Zion the LORD who rules over all will prepare a feast for all the nations. The best and richest foods and the finest aged wines will be served.7On that mountain the LORD will destroy the veil of sadness that covers all the nations. He will destroy the gloom that is spread over everyone.8He will swallow up death for ever. The LORD and King will wipe away the tears from everyone’s face. He will remove the shame of his people from the whole earth. The LORD has spoken.9At that time they will say, ‘He is our God. We trusted in him, and he saved us. He is the LORD. We trusted in him. Let us be filled with joy because he saved us.’10The LORD’s power will keep Mount Zion safe. But the people of Moab will be crushed in their land. They will be crushed just as straw is crushed in animal waste.11They will try to swim their way out of it. They will spread out their hands in it, just as swimmers spread out their hands to swim. But God will bring down Moab’s pride. None of their skill will help them.12He will pull down their high, strong walls. He will bring them down to the ground. He’ll bring them right down to the dust.
English Standard Version
God Will Swallow Up Death Forever
1O Lord, you are my God; I will exalt you; I will praise your name, for you have done wonderful things, plans formed of old, faithful and sure.2For you have made the city a heap, the fortified city a ruin; the foreigners’ palace is a city no more; it will never be rebuilt.3Therefore strong peoples will glorify you; cities of ruthless nations will fear you.4For you have been a stronghold to the poor, a stronghold to the needy in his distress, a shelter from the storm and a shade from the heat; for the breath of the ruthless is like a storm against a wall,5like heat in a dry place. You subdue the noise of the foreigners; as heat by the shade of a cloud, so the song of the ruthless is put down.6On this mountain the Lord of hosts will make for all peoples a feast of rich food, a feast of well-aged wine, of rich food full of marrow, of aged wine well refined.7And he will swallow up on this mountain the covering that is cast over all peoples, the veil that is spread over all nations.8He will swallow up death forever; and the Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces, and the reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth, for the Lord has spoken.9It will be said on that day, “Behold, this is our God; we have waited for him, that he might save us. This is the Lord; we have waited for him; let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation.”10For the hand of the Lord will rest on this mountain, and Moab shall be trampled down in his place, as straw is trampled down in a dunghill.*11And he will spread out his hands in the midst of it as a swimmer spreads his hands out to swim, but the Lord will lay low his pompous pride together with the skill* of his hands.12And the high fortifications of his walls he will bring down, lay low, and cast to the ground, to the dust.
