2 O Lord, be gracious to us;We have waited for You.Be their arm every morning,Our salvation also in the time of trouble.
3 At the noise of the tumult the people shall flee;When You lift Yourself up, the nations shall be scattered;
4 And Your plunder shall be gatheredLike the gathering of the caterpillar;As the running to and fro of locusts,He shall run upon them.
5 The Lord is exalted, for He dwells on high;He has filled Zion with justice and righteousness.
6 Wisdom and knowledge will be the stability of your times,And the strength of salvation;The fear of the Lord is His treasure.
7 Surely their valiant ones shall cry outside,The ambassadors of peace shall weep bitterly.
8 The highways lie waste,The traveling man ceases.He has broken the covenant,He has despised the cities,He regards no man.
