The King in His Beauty

33 Woe (A)to you, O destroyer,
While you were not destroyed;
And he (B)who is treacherous, while others did not deal treacherously with him.
As soon as you finish destroying, (C)you will be destroyed;
As soon as you cease to deal treacherously, others will (D)deal treacherously with you.
O Yahweh, (E)be gracious to us; we have (F)hoped in You.
Be [a]their [b](G)strength every morning,
Our salvation also in the (H)time of distress.
At the sound of the tumult (I)peoples flee;
At the (J)lifting up of Yourself nations scatter.
