2. O Lord, be gracious to us; we have waited for You. Be their strength every morning, Our salvation also in the time of distress.
3. At the sound of the tumult peoples flee; At the lifting up of Yourself nations disperse.
4. Your spoil is gathered as the caterpillar gathers; As locusts rushing 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. And He will be the stability of your times, A wealth of salvation, wisdom and knowledge; The fear of the Lord is his treasure.
7. Behold, their brave men cry in the streets, The ambassadors of peace weep bitterly.
8. The highways are desolate, the traveler has ceased, He has broken the covenant, he has despised the cities, He has no regard for man.
