¹ Woe to you, O destroyer,
    who yourself have not been destroyed!
Woe to you, O traitor,
    who yourself have not been betrayed!
When you have finished destroying,
    you yourself will be destroyed;
when you have ceased betraying,
    you yourself will be betrayed.
² O Lord, be merciful to us,
    for we have placed our hope in you.
Be our strength every morning,
    our salvation in times of trouble.
³ At the sound of tumult, peoples flee;
    nations scatter when they behold your majesty.
