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 attack
    like a rainstorm beating against the wall,
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.

God’s Banquet for His Servants

The Lord All-Powerful will prepare a feast
    on this mountain for all people.
It will be a feast with all the best food and wine,
    the finest meat and wine.
