A Prayer in Deep Distress
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.
aWe have waited for You.
Be their arm every morning,
Our salvation also in the time of trouble.
When You lift Yourself up, the nations shall be scattered;
Like the gathering of the caterpillar;
As the running to and fro of locusts,
He shall run upon them.
And the strength of salvation;
The fear of the Lord is His treasure.
The traveling man ceases.
bHe has broken the covenant,
1He has despised the2 cities,
He regards no man.
| << Isaiah 33:1 | Isaiah 33:3 >> |
