⁶ And in ^(G)this mountain
^(H)The Lord of hosts will make for ^(I)all people
A feast of ^[c]choice pieces,
A feast of ^[d]wines on the lees,
Of fat things full of marrow,
Of well-refined wines on the lees.
⁷ And He will destroy on this mountain
The surface of the covering cast over all people,
And ^(J)the veil that is spread over all nations.
⁸ He will ^(K)swallow up death forever,
And the Lord God will ^(L)wipe away tears from all faces;
The rebuke of His people
He will take away from all the earth;
For the Lord has spoken.

⁹ And it will be said in that day:
“Behold, this is our God;
^(M)We have waited for Him, and He will save us.
This is the Lord;
We have waited for Him;
^(N)We will be glad and rejoice in His salvation.”

¹⁰ For on this mountain the hand of the Lord will rest,
And ^(O)Moab shall be trampled down under Him,
As straw is trampled down for the refuse heap.
¹¹ And He will spread out His hands in their midst
As a swimmer reaches out to swim,
And He will bring down their ^(P)pride
Together with the trickery of their hands.
¹² The ^(Q)fortress of the high fort of your walls
He will bring down, lay low,
And bring to the ground, down to the dust.

“We have a strong city;
^(S)God will appoint salvation for walls and bulwarks.
^2 (T)Open the gates,
That the righteous nation which ^[e]keeps the truth may enter in.
³ You will keep him in perfect ^(U)peace,
Whose mind is stayed on You,
Because he trusts in You.
⁴ Trust in the Lord forever,
^(V)For in Yah, the Lord, is ^[f]everlasting strength.
⁵ For He brings ^[g]down those who dwell on high,
^(W)The lofty city;
He lays it low,
He lays it low to the ground,
He brings it down to the dust.
⁶ The foot shall ^[h]tread it down—
The feet of the poor
And the steps of the needy.”

⁷ The way of the just is uprightness;
^(X)O Most Upright,
You ^[i]weigh the path of the just.
⁸ Yes, ^(Y)in the way of Your judgments,
O Lord, we have ^(Z)waited for You;
The desire of our soul is for Your name
And for the remembrance of You.
^9 (AA)With my soul I have desired You in the night,
Yes, by my spirit within me I will seek You early;
For when Your judgments are in the earth,
The inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.

^10 (AB)Let grace be shown to the wicked,
Yet he will not learn righteousness;
In ^(AC)the land of uprightness he will deal unjustly,
And will not behold the majesty of the Lord.
¹¹ Lord, when Your hand is lifted up, ^(AD)they will not see.
But they will see and be ashamed
For ^[j]their envy of people;
Yes, the fire of Your enemies shall devour them.

¹² Lord, You will establish peace for us,
For You have also done all our works ^[k]in us.
¹³ O Lord our God, ^(AE)masters besides You
Have had dominion over us;
But by You only we make mention of Your name.
¹⁴ They are dead, they will not live;
They are deceased, they will not rise.
Therefore You have punished and destroyed them,
And made all their memory to ^(AF)perish.
¹⁵ You have increased the nation, O Lord,
You have ^(AG)increased the nation;
You are glorified;
You have expanded all the ^[l]borders of the land.

¹⁶ Lord, ^(AH)in trouble they have visited You,
They poured out a prayer when Your chastening was upon them.
¹⁷ As ^(AI)a woman with child
Is in pain and cries out in her ^[m]pangs,
When she draws near the time of her delivery,
So have we been in Your sight, O Lord.
¹⁸ We have been with child, we have been in pain;
We have, as it were, ^[n]brought forth wind;
We have not accomplished any deliverance in the earth,
Nor have ^(AJ)the inhabitants of the world fallen.

^19 (AK)Your dead shall live;
Together with ^[o]my dead body they shall arise.
^(AL)Awake and sing, you who dwell in dust;
For your dew is like the dew of herbs,
And the earth shall cast out the dead.

²³ Those who go down to the sea in ships,
Who do business on great waters,
²⁴ They see the works of the Lord,
And His wonders in the deep.
²⁵ For He commands and ^(A)raises the stormy wind,
Which lifts up the waves of the sea.
²⁶ They mount up to the heavens,
They go down again to the depths;
^(B)Their soul melts because of trouble.
²⁷ They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man,
And ^[a]are at their wits’ end.
²⁸ Then they cry out to the Lord in their trouble,
And He brings them out of their distresses.
^29 (C)He calms the storm,
So that its waves are still.
³⁰ Then they are glad because they are quiet;
So He guides them to their desired haven.
^31 (D)Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness,
And for His wonderful works to the children of men!
³² Let them exalt Him also ^(E)in the assembly of the people,
And praise Him in the company of the elders.

^18 (A)A man who bears false witness against his neighbor
Is like a club, a sword, and a sharp arrow.

¹⁹ Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble
Is like a bad tooth and a foot out of joint.

^(H)“He has dispersed abroad,
He has given to the poor;
His righteousness endures forever.”
