1 How terrible it will be for you who destroy othersbut have not been destroyed yet.How terrible it will be for you, traitor,whom no one has turned against yet.When you stop destroying,others will destroy you.When you stop turning against others,they will turn against you.
2 Lord, be kind to us.We have waited for your help.Give us strength every morning.Save us when we are in trouble.
3 Your powerful voice makes people run away in fear;your greatness causes the nations to run away.
4 Like locusts, your enemies will take away the things you stole in war.Like locusts rushing about, they will take your wealth.
5 The Lord is very great, and he lives in a high place.He fills Jerusalem with fairness and justice.
6 He will be your safety.He is full of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge.Respect for the Lord is the greatest treasure.
