³ Therefore strong peoples will honor you;^(A)
    cities of ruthless^(B) nations will revere you.
⁴ You have been a refuge^(C) for the poor,^(D)
    a refuge for the needy^(E) in their distress,
a shelter from the storm^(F)
    and a shade from the heat.
For the breath of the ruthless^(G)
    is like a storm driving against a wall
⁵     and like the heat of the desert.
You silence^(H) the uproar of foreigners;^(I)
    as heat is reduced by the shadow of a cloud,
    so the song of the ruthless^(J) is stilled.
