The LORD, you are my God. I will exalt you! I will praise your name, for you have done wonderful things, things planned long ago, in complete faithfulness and truth.

See also: Isaiah 49:23-26Psalms 46:10-11Zechariah 14:16For you have been a stronghold to the poor, a stronghold to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat, when the blast of the dreaded ones is like a storm against the wall. See also: Zephaniah 3:12James 2:5Isaiah 32:2As the heat in a dry place you will bring down the noise of strangers; as the heat by the shade of a cloud, the song of the dreaded ones will be brought low. See also: Isaiah 54:15-17Jeremiah 50:11-15Revelation 16:1-19In this mountain, the LORD of Armies will make all peoples a feast of choice meat, a feast of choice wines, of choice meat full of marrow, of well refined choice wines. See also: Matthew 8:11Psalms 63:5Jeremiah 31:12-13He will destroy in this mountain the surface of the covering that covers all peoples, and the veil that is spread over all nations. See also: Ephesians 4:18Isaiah 60:1-3Matthew 27:51He has swallowed up death forever! The Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces. He will take the reproach of his people away from off all the earth, for the LORD has spoken it. See also: Revelation 21:4Revelation 7:171 Corinthians 15:54It shall be said in that day, “Behold, 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!” See also: Psalms 27:14Genesis 49:18Micah 7:7For the LORD’s hand will rest in this mountain. Moab will be trodden down in his place, even like straw is trodden down in the water of the dunghill.

Notes in English 19th-century Catholic commentary by Fr. George Leo Haydock, shown as published.
These notes keep the polemics of their time: some speak harshly of the Jewish people or of other Christians. The Church teaches otherwise today. The Jewish people may not be blamed for the death of Christ (Nostra Aetate 4; Catechism 597–598), and Christians of other communities are our brothers and sisters in the Lord (Unitatis Redintegratio 3).
