Trouble for Assyria and Help for God’s People

33 How terrible it will be for you, you who destroy others!
    Assyria, you haven’t been destroyed yet.
How terrible for you, you who turn against others!
    Others haven’t turned against you yet.
When you stop destroying,
    you will be destroyed.
When you stop turning against others,
    others will turn against you.

Lord, have mercy on us.
    We long for you to help us.
Make us strong every morning.
    Save us when we’re in trouble.
At the roar of your army, the nations run away.
    When you rise up against them, they scatter.
