A Prayer in Deep Distress
1 Woe to you awho plunder, though you have not been plundered;
And you who deal treacherously, though they have not dealt treacherously with you!
bWhen you cease plundering,
You will be cplundered;
When you make an end of dealing treacherously,
They will deal treacherously with you.
And you who deal treacherously, though they have not dealt treacherously with you!
bWhen you cease plundering,
You will be cplundered;
When you make an end of dealing treacherously,
They will deal treacherously with you.
2 O Lord, be1 gracious to us;
aWe have waited for You.
Be their arm every morning,
Our salvation also in the time of trouble.
aWe 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 ashall flee;
When You lift Yourself up, the nations shall be scattered;
When You lift Yourself up, the nations shall be scattered;
4 And Your plunder shall be gathered
Like the gathering of the caterpillar;
As the running to and fro of locusts,
He shall run upon them.
Like the gathering of the caterpillar;
As the running to and fro of locusts,
He shall run upon them.
