You Lord have been a safe place for poor people.
When helpless people were in trouble,
    you have kept them safe.
You were a place for them to hide from the storm.
    You gave them shade from the heat.
Yes, cruel people attack them
    like a storm that hits against a wall.
    and like strong heat in the desert.
You Lord stopped the proud noise of foreign people.
Like the shadow of a cloud that stops the heat of the sun,
    you stopped our cruel enemy's songs.
You stopped them as they boasted of their strength.
The Lord Almighty will prepare a feast on this mountain.[a]
    It will be a feast for all the nations of the world.
It will be a great feast, with plenty of meat and wine.
    The best meat and the best wine will be there.
