1 You defeated my people.Now you're in for trouble!You've never been destroyed,but you will be destroyed;you've never been betrayed,but you will be betrayed.When you have finisheddestroying and betraying,you will be destroyedand betrayed in return.
2 Please, Lord, be kind to us!We depend on you.Make us strong each morning,and come to save uswhen we are in trouble.
3 Nations scatter when you roarand show your greatness.
4 We attack our enemieslike swarms of locusts;we take everythingthat belongs to them.
5 You, Lord, are above all others,and you live in the heavens.You have brought justiceand fairness to Jerusalem;
6 you are the foundationon which we stand today.You always save us and givetrue wisdom and knowledge.Nothing means more to usthan obeying you.
