For You have turned a city into a (A)heap,
A (B)fortified city into a ruin;
A (C)palace of strangers is no longer a city,
It will never be rebuilt.
Therefore a strong people will (D)glorify You;
(E)Cities of ruthless nations will revere You.
For You have been a (F)stronghold for the helpless,
A stronghold for the poor in his distress,
A (G)refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat;
For the breath of the (H)ruthless
Is like a rain storm against a wall.
