1. Woe to thee that spoilest, and thou wast not spoiled; and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! When thou hast ceased to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; and when thou hast made an end to deal treacherously, they shall 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 peoples are fled; at the lifting up of thyself the nations are scattered.
4. And your spoil shall be gathered as the caterpiller gathereth: as locusts leap shall they leap upon it.
5. The Lord is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness.
6. And there shall be stability in thy times, abundance of salvation, wisdom and knowledge: the fear of the Lord is his treasure.
