Therefore the strong people will (A)glorify You;
The city of the [a]terrible nations will fear You.
For You have been a strength to the poor,
A strength to the needy in his distress,
(B)A refuge from the storm,
A shade from the heat;
For the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.
You will reduce the noise of aliens,
As heat in a dry place;
As heat in the shadow of a cloud,
The song of the terrible ones will be [b]diminished.

a shelter from the storm(F)
    and a shade from the heat.
For the breath of the ruthless(G)
    is like a storm driving against a wall
    and like the heat of the desert.
You silence(H) the uproar of foreigners;(I)
    as heat is reduced by the shadow of a cloud,
    so the song of the ruthless(J) is stilled.
