1Hashem, You are my God; I will extol You, I will praise Your name. For You planned graciousness of old, Counsels of steadfast faithfulness.

2For You have turned a city into a stone heap, A walled town into a ruin, The citadel of strangers into rubble, Never to be rebuilt.

6The lord of Hosts will make on this mount For all the peoples A banquet of rich viands, A banquet of choice wines— Of rich viands seasoned with marrow, Of choice wines well refined.

8He will destroy death forever. My Hashem will wipe the tears away From all faces And will put an end to the reproach of His people Over all the earth— For it is Hashem who has spoken.

25:8 He will destroy death forever
Celebrating the ultimate defeat of evil, Hashem will hold a banquet at His mountain (Tzion), and all those who celebrate will witness the undoing of Adam’s punishment; the removal of death from the world. This idea also appears in the prophecies of Hoshea – “From Sheol itself I will save them, Redeem them from very Death. Where, O Death, are your plagues? Your pestilence where, O Sheol?” (Hosea 13:14). The wiping away of tears in this verse refers to Rachel’s tears in Yirmiyahu’s prophecy of the ingathering of the exiles (31:15), as the verse states, “Restrain your voice from weeping, your eyes from shedding tears; for there is a reward for your labor, declares Hashem. They shall return from the enemy’s land.” God’s consolation from the pains of death and exile will be an important part of the redemption and complete return to Israel, for which His nation prays every day.
9In that day they shall say: This is our God; We trusted in Him, and He delivered us. This is Hashem, in whom we trusted; Let us rejoice and exult in His deliverance!

10For the hand of Hashem shall descend Upon this mount, And Moab shall be trampled under Him As straw is threshed to bits at Madmenah.

11Then He will spread out His hands in their homeland, As a swimmer spreads his hands out to swim, And He will humble their pride Along with the emblems of their power.
