For You have been a strength to the poor,
A strength to the needy in his distress,
(A)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 [a]diminished.

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