Is this your (A)joyous city,
Whose antiquity is from ancient days,
Whose feet carried her far off to dwell?
Who has taken this counsel against Tyre, (B)the crowning city,
Whose merchants are princes,
Whose traders are the honorable of the earth?
The Lord of hosts has (C)purposed it,
To [a]bring to dishonor the (D)pride of all glory,
To bring into contempt all the honorable of the earth.
