1Wo, spoiler! and thou not spoiled, And treacherous! and they dealt not treacherously with thee, When thou dost finish, O spoiler, thou art spoiled, When thou dost finish dealing treacherously, They deal treacherously with thee.
2O Jehovah, favour us, for thee we have waited, Be their arm, in the mornings, Yea, our salvation in time of adversity.
3From the voice of a multitude fled have peoples, From thine exaltation scattered have been nations.
4And gathered hath been your spoil, A gathering of the caterpillar, As a running to and fro of locusts is he running on it.
5Set on high is Jehovah, for He is dwelling on high, He filled Zion [with] judgment and righteousness,
6And hath been the stedfastness of thy times, The strength of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge, Fear of Jehovah -- it [is] His treasure.
7Lo, `Their Ariel,` they have cried without, Messengers of peace do weep bitterly.
