For You have been a (A)stronghold for the helpless,
A stronghold for the poor in his distress,
A (B)refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat;
For the breath of the (C)ruthless
Is like a rain storm against a wall.
Like heat in a dry land, You subdue the (D)uproar of foreigners;
Like heat by the shadow of a cloud, the song of the ruthless is [a]silenced.

(E)Now the Lord of armies will prepare a [b]lavish banquet for (F)all peoples on this mountain;
A banquet of [c]aged wine, [d]choice pieces with marrow,
And [e]refined, aged wine.
