The Lord Will Show His Power

33 Look at you. You attack others when you have not been attacked. You turn against others when no one has turned against you. So when you stop your attacks, you will be attacked. When you stop turning against others, they will turn against you.

Lord, be kind to us.
    We have waited for your help.

    Save us when we are in trouble.
Your powerful voice makes people run away in fear.
    Your greatness causes the nations to run away.

when you stop betraying,
    you will be betrayed.(C)

Lord, be gracious(D) to us;
    we long for you.
Be our strength(E) every morning,
    our salvation(F) in time of distress.(G)

    when you rise up,(J) the nations scatter.
