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. 
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. 
3 At the noise of the tumult the people ashall flee;
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.

John Wesley's Notes
<< Isaiah 33:1   Isaiah 33:3 >>


Isaiah 33:2

O Lord - The prophet contemplating the judgment which was now coming upon God's people, directs his prayer to God for them. Their arm - Our arm or strength. The change of persons is frequent in prophetical writings. Every morning - When we offer the morning sacrifice, and call upon thee: which yet is not meant exclusively, as if he did not desire God's help at other times; but comprehensively, the morning being put for the whole day. The sense is, help us speedily and continually.
