3. From the noise of tumult people will flee; When You lift Yourself up, the nations will be scattered.
4. Your spoil is gathered as the caterpillar gathers; like a swarm of locusts, they are rushing over it.
5. Adonai is exalted, for He dwells on high! He has filled Zion with justice and righteousness.
6. It will be your time of faithfulness, a wealth of salvation, wisdom and knowledge— the fear of Adonai is His treasure.
7. Behold, heroes cry outside. Ambassadors of peace weep bitterly.
8. Highways are desolate; travel has ceased; covenant is broken; cities are despised; there is no regard for humanity.
9. The land mourns and languishes; Lebanon is shamed and withers; Sharon is like a wilderness; Bashan and Carmel are shaken bare.
