1 Woe to you who plunder! Will you yourselves not also be plundered? And woe to you who despise! Will you yourselves not also be despised? When you will have completed your plundering, you will be plundered. When, out of fatigue, you will have ceased acting with contempt, you will be treated with contempt.
2 O Lord, take pity on us. For we have waited for you. Be our arm in the morning and our salvation in the time of tribulation.
3 From the voice of the Angel, the people fled. And from your exultation, the nations were scattered.
4 And your spoils will be gathered together, just as the locusts are collected when the ditches have become filled with them.
5 The Lord has been magnified, because he has lived on high. He has filled Zion with judgment and justice.
6 And there will be faith in your times: the riches of salvation, wisdom and knowledge. For the fear of the Lord is his treasure.
