I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name;
for thou hast done wonderful things;
thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.
Thou hast been a strength to the poor,
a strength to the needy in his distress,
a refuge from the storm,
a shadow from the heat,
when the blast of the terrible ones
is as a storm against the wall.
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 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.
