1 You, Lord, are my God!I will praise youfor doing the wonderful thingsyou had planned and promisedsince ancient times.
2 You have destroyed the fortressof our enemies,leaving their city in ruins.Nothing in that foreign citywill ever be rebuilt.
3 Now strong and cruel nationswill fear and honour you.
4 You have been a place of safetyfor the poor and needyin times of trouble.Brutal enemies pounded uslike a heavy rainor the heat of the sun at midday,but you were our shelter.
5 Those wild foreigners strucklike scorching desert heat.But you were like a cloud,protecting us from the sun.You kept our enemies from singingsongs of victory.
6 On this mountainthe Lord All-Powerfulwill prepare for all nationsa feast of the finest foods.Choice wines and the best meatswill be served.
