1O Lord God, I will glorify thee, I will sing to thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things, [even] an ancient [and] faithful counsel. So be it.
1Yahweh, you are my God. I will exalt you! I will praise your name, for you have done wonderful things, things planned long ago, in complete faithfulness and truth.
2For thou hast made cities a heap, [even] cities [made] strong that their foundations should not fall: the city of ungodly men shall not be built for ever.
2For you have made a city into a heap, a fortified city into a ruin, a palace of strangers to be no city. It will never be built.
3Therefore shall the poor people bless thee, and cities of injured men shall bless thee.
3Therefore a strong people will glorify you. A city of awesome nations will fear you.
4For thou hast been a helper to every lowly city, and a shelter to them that were disheartened by reason of poverty: thou shalt deliver them from wicked men: [thou hast been] a shelter of them that thirst, and a refreshing air to injured men.
4For you have been a stronghold to the poor, a stronghold to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat, when the blast of the dreaded ones is like a storm against the wall.
5[We were] as faint-hearted men thirsting in Sion, by reason of ungodly men to whom thou didst deliver us.
5As the heat in a dry place you will bring down the noise of strangers; as the heat by the shade of a cloud, the song of the dreaded ones will be brought low.
6And the Lord of hosts shall make [a feast] for all the nations: on this mount they shall drink gladness, they shall drink wine:
6In this mountain, Yahweh of Armies will make all peoples a feast of choice meat, a feast of choice wines, of choice meat full of marrow, of well refined choice wines.
7they shall anoint themselves with ointment in this mountain. Impart thou all these things to the nations; for this is [God's] counsel upon all the nations.
7He will destroy in this mountain the surface of the covering that covers all peoples, and the veil that is spread over all nations.
8Death has prevailed and swallowed [men] up; but again the Lord God has taken away every tear from every face. He has taken away the reproach of [his] people from all the earth: for the mouth of the Lord has spoken it.
8He has swallowed up death forever! The Lord Yahweh will wipe away tears from off all faces. He will take the reproach of his people away from off all the earth, for Yahweh has spoken it.
9And in that day they shall say, Beholdour God in whom we have trusted, and he shall save us: this [is] the Lord; we have waited for him, and we have exulted, and will rejoice in our salvation.
9It shall be said in that day, “Behold, this is our God! We have waited for him, and he will save us! This is Yahweh! We have waited for him. We will be glad and rejoice in his salvation!”
10God will give rest on this mountain, and the country of Moab shall be trodden down , as they tread the floor with waggons.
10For Yahweh’s hand will rest in this mountain. Moab will be trodden down in his place, even like straw is trodden down in the water of the dunghill.
11And he shall spread forth his hands , even as he also brings down [man] to destroy [him]: and he shall bring low his pride [in regard to the thing] on which he has laid his hands.
11He will spread out his hands in the middle of it, like one who swims spreads out hands to swim, but his pride will be humbled together with the craft of his hands.
12And he shall bring down the height of the refuge of the wall, and it shall come down even to the ground.
12He has brought the high fortress of your walls down, laid low, and brought to the ground, even to the dust.
1In that day they shall sing this song in the land of Judea; Behold a strong city; and he shall make salvation [its] wall and bulwark.
1In that day, this song will be sung in the land of Judah: “We have a strong city. God appoints salvation for walls and bulwarks.
2Open ye the gates, let the nation enter that keeps righteousness, and keeps truth,
2Open the gates, that the righteous nation may enter: the one which keeps faith.
3supporting truth, and keeping peace: for on thee, O Lord,
3You will keep whoever’s mind is steadfast in perfect peace, because he trusts in you.
4they have trusted with confidence for ever, the great, the eternal God;
4Trust in Yahweh forever; for in Yah, Yahweh, is an everlasting Rock.
5who hast humbled and brought down them that dwell on high, thou shalt cast down strong cities, and bring them to the ground.
5For he has brought down those who dwell on high, the lofty city. He lays it low. He lays it low even to the ground. He brings it even to the dust.
6And the feet of the meek and lowly shall trample them.
6The foot shall tread it down, even the feet of the poor and the steps of the needy.”
7The way of the godly is made straight: the way of the godly is also prepared.
7The way of the just is uprightness. You who are upright make the path of the righteous level.
8For the way of the Lord is judgment: we have hoped in thy name, and on the remembrance [of thee],
8Yes, in the way of your judgments, Yahweh, we have waited for you. Your name and your renown are the desire of our soul.
9which our soul longs for: my spirit seeks thee very early in the morning, O God, for thy commandments are a light on the earth: learn righteousness, ye that dwell upon the earth.
9With my soul I have desired you in the night. Yes, with my spirit within me I will seek you earnestly; for when your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
10For the ungodly one is put down: no one who will not learn righteousness on the earth, shall be able to do the truth: let the ungodly be taken away, that he see not the glory of the Lord.
10Let favor be shown to the wicked, yet he will not learn righteousness. In the land of uprightness he will deal wrongfully, and will not see Yahweh’s majesty.
11O Lord, thine arm is exalted, yet they knew it not: but when they know they shall be ashamed: jealousy shall seize upon an untaught nation, and now fire shall devour the adversaries.
11Yahweh, your hand is lifted up, yet they don’t see; but they will see your zeal for the people and be disappointed. Yes, fire will consume your adversaries.
12O Lord our God, give us peace: for thou hast rendered to usall things.
12Yahweh, you will ordain peace for us, for you have also done all our work for us.
13O Lord our God, take possession of us: O Lord, we know not [any] other beside thee: we name thy name.
13Yahweh our God, other lords besides you have had dominion over us, but we will only acknowledge your name.
14But the dead shall not see life, neither shall physicians by any means raise [them] up: therefore thou hast brought [wrath] upon [them], and slain [them], and hast taken away every male of them . Bring more evils upon them, O Lord;
14The dead shall not live. The departed spirits shall not rise. Therefore you have visited and destroyed them, and caused all memory of them to perish.
15bring more evils on the glorious ones of the earth.
15You have increased the nation, O Yahweh. You have increased the nation! You are glorified! You have enlarged all the borders of the land.
16Lord, in affliction I remembered thee; thy chastening was to us with small affliction.
16Yahweh, in trouble they have visited you. They poured out a prayer when your chastening was on them.
17And as a woman in travail draws nigh to be delivered, [and] cries out in her pain; so have we been to thy beloved.
17Just as a woman with child, who draws near the time of her delivery, is in pain and cries out in her pangs, so we have been before you, Yahweh.
18We have conceived, O Lord, because of thy fear, and have been in pain, and have brought forth the breath of thy salvation, which we have wrought upon the earth: we shall not fall, but all that dwell upon the land shall fall.
18We have been with child. We have been in pain. We gave birth, it seems, only to wind. We have not worked any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.
19The dead shall rise, and they that are in the tombs shall be raised, and they that are in the earth shall rejoice: for the dew from thee is healing to them: but the land of the ungodly shall perish.
19Your dead shall live. Their dead bodies shall arise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in the dust; for your dew is like the dew of herbs, and the earth will cast out the departed spirits.
20Go, my people, enter into thy closets, shut thy door, hide thyself for a little season, until the anger of the Lord have passed away.
20Come, my people, enter into your rooms, and shut your doors behind you. Hide yourself for a little moment, until the indignation is past.
21For, behold, the Lord is bringing wrath from [his] holy place upon the dwellers on the earth: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall not cover her slain.
21For, behold, Yahweh comes out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity. The earth also will disclose her blood, and will no longer cover her slain.
