1. Woe to you, O destroyer,though you were not destroyed,and he who is treacherous,though others did not deal treacherously with you!When you cease destroying,you shall be destroyed;and when you finish dealing treacherously,others shall deal treacherously with you.
2. O 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 tumult, the people flee;at the lifting up of Yourself, the nations scatter;
4. your spoil is gathered like the caterpillar gathers;as locusts rush about, men rush about on it.
5. The Lord is exalted, for He dwells on high;He has filled Zion with justice and righteousness.
6. He shall be the stability of your times,a wealth of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge;the fear of the Lord is His treasure.
7. Listen! Their valiant ones cry in the streets;the ambassadors of peace weep bitterly.
