[1] Woe to thee that spoilest, and dealest treacherously, with thee! when thou shalt cease to spoil, and when thou shalt make an end to deal treacherously, with thee. [2] O LORD, be gracious unto us; we have waited for thee: be thou their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble. [3] At the noise of the tumult the people fled; at the lifting up of thyself the nations were scattered. [4] And your spoil shall be gathered like the gathering of the caterpiller: as the running to and fro of locusts shall he run upon them. [5] The LORD is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness. [6] And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD is his treasure. [7] Behold, their valiant ones shall cry without: the ambassadors of peace shall weep bitterly.
