3 From the noise of tumult people will flee; When You lift Yourself up, the nations will be scattered.
4 Your spoil is gathered as the caterpillar gathers; like a swarm of locusts, they are rushing over it.
5 Adonai is exalted, for He dwells on high! He has filled Zion with justice and righteousness.
6 It will be your time of faithfulness, a wealth of salvation, wisdom and knowledge— the fear of Adonai is His treasure.
7 Behold, heroes cry outside. Ambassadors of peace weep bitterly.
8 Highways are desolate; travel has ceased; covenant is broken; cities are despised; there is no regard for humanity.
9 The land mourns and languishes; Lebanon is shamed and withers; Sharon is like a wilderness; Bashan and Carmel are shaken bare.
