For You have been a stronghold for the poor,
a stronghold for the needy in distress,
a refuge from the rainstorm,
a shade from the heat.
For the breath of the ruthless
    is like a storm against the wall.
Like heat in a dry place,
You subdue the roar of foreigners.
Like heat in the shade of a cloud,
    the song of tyrants is brought low.

On this mountain, Adonai-Tzva’ot
will prepare a lavish banquet for all peoples—
a banquet of aged wine—
of rich food, of choice marrow, of aged wine well refined.

a shelter from the storm(D)

For the breath of the ruthless(E)
    is like a storm driving against a wall
    and like the heat of the desert.
You silence(F) the uproar of foreigners;(G)
    as heat is reduced by the shadow of a cloud,
    so the song of the ruthless(H) is stilled.

On this mountain(I) the Lord Almighty will prepare
    a feast(J) of rich food for all peoples,
a banquet of aged wine—
    the best of meats and the finest of wines.(K)
