    1O LORD, You are my God!
    I will exalt You;I will praise Your name.For You have worked wonders—plans formed long ago—in perfect faithfulness.2Indeed, You have made the city a heap of rubble,the fortified town a ruin.The fortress of strangers is a city no more;it will never be rebuilt.3Therefore, a strong people will honor You.The cities of ruthless nations will revere You.
    4For You have been a refuge for the poor,a stronghold for the needy in distress,a refuge from the storm,a shade from the heat.For the breath of the ruthlessis like rain against a wall,5like heat in a dry land.You subdue the uproar of foreigners.As the shade of a cloud cools the heat,so the song of the ruthless is silenced.

    ⓘ The new community of God’s people will respond...

    The new community of God’s people will respond in joy and faith. When the enemy is defeated, God’s people will be free forever.
    9And in that day it will be said, “Surely this is our God;we have waited for Him, and He has saved us.This is the LORD for whom we have waited.Let us rejoice and be glad in His salvation.”
    10For the hand of the LORDwill rest on this mountain.But Moab will be trampled in his placeas straw is trodden into the dung pile.11He will spread out his hands within it,as a swimmer spreads his arms to swim.His pride will be brought low,despite† the skill of his hands.12The high-walled fortress will be brought down,cast to the ground, into the dust.
