1. Woe to you that plunder, and you were not plundered; and deal treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with you! when you shall cease to plunder, you shall be plundered; and when you shall make an end of dealing treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with you.
2. O LORD, be gracious unto us; we have waited for you: be 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 yourself the nations were scattered.
4. And your spoil shall be gathered like the gathering of the caterpillar: as the running to and fro of locusts shall he run upon them.
5. The LORD is exalted; for he dwells on high: he has filled Zion with justice and righteousness.
6. And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of your times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD is his treasure.
