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.
7 See, brave people are crying out in the streets;those who tried to bring peace are weeping loudly.
8 There is no one on the roads,no one walking in the paths.People have broken the agreements they made.They refuse to believe the proof from witnesses.No one respects other people.
