“Behold, this is our God;
aWe have waited for Him, and He will save us.
This is the Lord;
We have waited for Him;
bWe will be glad and rejoice in His salvation.”
And aMoab shall be trampled down under Him,
As straw is trampled down for the refuse heap.
As a swimmer reaches out to swim,
And He will bring down their apride
Together with the trickery of their hands.
He will bring down, lay low,
And bring to the ground, down to the dust.
