That is why strong people will honor you,
    and cities ruled by the world’s tyrants will fear you.
You have been a refuge for the poor,
    a refuge for the needy in their distress,
    a shelter from the rain, and shade from the heat.
    (A tyrant’s breath is like a rainstorm against a wall,
like heat in a dry land.)
    You calm the uproar of foreigners.
    The song of tyrants is silenced
        like heat that is reduced by the shadow of a cloud.
