It will be said on that day,
    “Behold, this is our God; (A)we have waited for him, that he might save us.
    This is the Lord; we have waited for him;
    (B)let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation.”
10 For the hand of the Lord will rest (C)on this mountain,
    and (D)Moab shall be trampled down in his place,
    as straw is trampled down in a dunghill.[a]
11 (E)And he will spread out his hands in the midst of it
    as a swimmer spreads his hands out to swim,
    but the Lord (F)will lay low his pompous pride together with the skill[b] of his hands.
12 And the high fortifications of his walls he will bring down,
    lay low, and cast to the ground, to the dust.

You Keep Him in Perfect Peace

26 In that day (G)this song will be sung in the land of Judah:

“We have a strong city;
    he sets up (H)salvation
    as walls and bulwarks.
(I)Open the gates,
    that the righteous nation that keeps faith may enter in.
(J)You keep him in perfect peace
    whose mind is stayed on you,
    because he trusts in you.
Trust in the Lord forever,
    for the Lord God is an everlasting rock.
(K)For he has humbled
    the inhabitants of the height,
    the lofty city.
He lays it low, lays it low to the ground,
    casts it to the dust.
The foot tramples it,
    the feet of (L)the poor,
    the steps of (M)the needy.”

The path of the righteous is level;
    (N)you make level the way of the righteous.
