33Ah, you destroyer, who yourself have not been destroyed; you treacherous one, with whom no one has dealt treacherously! When you have ceased to destroy, you will be destroyed; and when you have stopped dealing treacherously, you will be dealt with treacherously. ²O Lord, be gracious to us; we wait for you. Be our arm every morning, our salvation in the time of trouble. ³At the sound of tumult, peoples fled; before your majesty, nations scattered. ⁴Spoil was gathered as the caterpillar gathers; as locusts leap, they leaped upon it. ⁵The Lord is exalted, he dwells on high; he filled Zion with justice and righteousness; ⁶he will be the stability of your times, abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge; the fear of the Lord is Zion’s treasure. ⁷Listen! the valiant cry in the streets; the envoys of peace weep bitterly. ⁸The highways are deserted, travelers have quit the road. The treaty is broken, its oaths are despised, its obligation is disregarded. ⁹The land mourns and languishes; Lebanon is confounded and withers away; Sharon is like a desert; and Bashan and Carmel shake off their leaves.
