1 Woe to you who destroy, but you weren’t destroyed;and who betray, but nobody betrayed you!When you have finished destroying, you will be destroyed;and when you have finished betrayal, you will be betrayed.
2 Lord, be gracious to us. We have waited for you.Be our strength every morning,our salvation also in the time of trouble.
3 At the noise of the thunder, the peoples have fled.When you lift yourself up, the nations are scattered.
4 Your plunder will be gathered as the caterpillar gathers.Men will leap on it as locusts leap.
5 The Lord is exalted, for he dwells on high.He has filled Zion with justice and righteousness.
6 There will be stability in your times, abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge.The fear of the Lord is your treasure.
7 Behold, their valiant ones cry outside;the ambassadors of peace weep bitterly.
