2 O Lord, have pity on us.We wait with hope for you.Be our strength in the morning.Yes, be our savior in times of trouble.
3 People flee from the noise of ⌊your⌋ army.Nations scatter when you attack.
4 You nations, your loot is gathered as grasshoppers harvest a crop.Like swarming locusts, people rush for your loot.
5 The Lord is honored because he lives on high.He will fill Zion with justice and righteousness.
6 He will be the foundation of your future.The riches of salvation are wisdom and knowledge.The fear of the Lord is ⌊your⌋ treasure.
7 Heroes cry in the streets.Messengers of peace cry bitterly.
8 Highways are deserted.Travelers stop traveling.Agreements are broken.Witnesses are rejected.People are no longer respected.
