2 You have made the city a pile of rocksand have destroyed her walls.The city our enemies built with strong walls is gone;it will never be built again.
3 People from powerful nations will honor you;cruel people from strong cities will fear you.
4 You protect the poor;you protect the helpless when they are in danger.You are like a shelter from storms,like shade that protects them from the heat.The cruel people attacklike a rainstorm beating against the wall,
5 like the heat in the desert.But you, God, stop their violent attack.As a cloud cools a hot day,you silence the songs of those who have no mercy.
6 The Lord All-Powerful will prepare a feaston this mountain for all people.It will be a feast with all the best food and wine,the finest meat and wine.
7 On this mountain God will destroythe veil that covers all nations,the veil that stretches over all peoples;
8 he will destroy death forever.The Lord God will wipe away every tear from every face.He will take away the shame of his people from the earth.The Lord has spoken.
