2. Lord, be kind to us.We have waited for your help.Give us strength every morning.Save us when we are in trouble.
3. Your powerful voice makes people run away in fear;your greatness causes the nations to run away.
4. Like locusts, your enemies will take away the things you stole in war.Like locusts rushing about, they will take your wealth.
5. The Lord is very great, and he lives in a high place.He fills Jerusalem with fairness and justice.
6. He will be your safety.He is full of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge.Respect for the Lord is the greatest treasure.
7. See, brave people are crying out in the streets;those who tried to bring peace are weeping loudly.
8. There is no one on the roads,no one walking in the paths.People have broken the agreements they made.They refuse to believe the proof from witnesses.No one respects other people.
9. The land is sick and dying;Lebanon is ashamed and dying.The Plain of Sharon is dry like the desert,and the trees of Bashan and Carmel are dying.
