25.3 :Therefore shall the strong people glorify Thee,
 * The city of the terrible nations shall fear Thee.
 * For Thou hast been a stronghold to the poor,
 * A stronghold to the needy in his distress,
 * A refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat;
 * For the blast of the terrible ones was as a storm against the wall.
 * As the heat in a dry place, Thou didst subdue the noise of strangers;
 * As the heat by the shadow of a cloud, the song of the terrible ones was brought low.


 * And in this mountain will the of hosts make unto all peoples
 * A feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees,
 * Of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined.
 * And He will destroy in this mountain
 * The face of the covering that is cast over all peoples,
 * And the veil that is spread over all nations.
 * He will swallow up death for ever;
 * And the Lord will wipe away tears from off all faces;
 * And the reproach of His people will He take away from off all the earth;
 * For the hath spoken it.


 * And it shall be said in that day:
 * 'Lo, this is our God,
 * For whom we waited, that He might save us;
 * This is the, for whom we waited,
 * We will be glad and rejoice in His salvation.'
 * For in this mountain will the hand of the rest,
 * And Moab shall be trodden down in his place,
 * Even as straw is trodden down in the dunghill.
 * And when he shall spread forth his hands in the midst thereof,
 * As he that swimmeth spreadeth forth his hands to swim,
 * His pride shall be brought down together with the cunning of his hands.
 * And the high fortress of thy walls will He bring down, lay low,
 * And bring to the ground, even to the dust.


 * In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah:
 * We have a strong city;
 * Walls and bulwarks doth He appoint for salvation.
 * Open ye the gates,
 * That the righteous nation that keepeth faithfulness may enter in.
 * The mind stayed on Thee Thou keepest in perfect peace;
 * Because it trusteth in Thee.
 * Trust ye in the for ever,
 * For the is, an everlasting Rock.
 * For He hath brought down them that dwell on high,
 * The lofty city, laying it low, laying it low even to the ground,
 * Bringing it even to the dust.
 * The foot shall tread it down,
 * Even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy.


 * The way of the just is straight;
 * Thou, Most Upright, makest plain the path of the just.
 * Yea, in the way of Thy judgments,
 * O, have we waited for Thee;
