And God will swallow up the oppression that weighs us down.
    He will take away the heavy shroud
    that is draped over all peoples of the world.
God will swallow up death forever.
    The Lord, the Eternal, will wipe away the tears from each and every face
And deflect the scorn and shame His people endure from the whole world,
    for the Eternal determined that it should be so.
And in that moment, at that glorious time, people will say,

People: This is our God! We put our hope in him.
        We knew that He would save us!
        This is our God, the Eternal for whom we waited.
    Let us rejoice and celebrate in His liberation.

This is the Lord, we trusted in him;
    let us rejoice(K) and be glad in his salvation.”(L)

And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the vail that is spread over all nations.

He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord God will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the Lord hath spoken it.

And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the Lord; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.
