⁴ You ·protect [^Lare a refuge/stronghold to] the poor;
    you protect the ·helpless [needy] when they are in ·danger [distress].
You are like a shelter from storms,
    like shade that protects them from the heat.
The ·cruel people attack [^Lbreath of the cruel/ruthless]
    like a rainstorm beating against the wall,
⁵     like the ·heat [or drought] in the desert.
But you, God, ·stop their violent attack [^Lsubdue/silence the uproar of foreigners].
    As the shadow from a cloud cools a hot day,
you silence the songs of ·those who have no mercy [the ruthless].

⁶ The Lord ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; ^Tof hosts] will prepare a feast
    on this mountain [^CMount Zion; 24:23] for all people.
It will be a feast with all the best food and wine,
    the ·finest [tenderest; full of marrow] meat and ·wine [well-aged/filtered wines].
