Lord, be kind to us.
    We have waited for your help.
Give us strength every morning.
    Save us when we are in trouble.
Your powerful voice makes people run away in fear;
    your greatness causes the nations to run away.
Like locusts, your enemies will take away the things you stole in war.
    Like locusts rushing about, they will take your wealth.

Lord, be gracious(A) to us;
    we long for you.
Be our strength(B) every morning,
    our salvation(C) in time of distress.(D)
At the uproar of your army,(E) the peoples flee;(F)
    when you rise up,(G) the nations scatter.
Your plunder,(H) O nations, is harvested(I) as by young locusts;(J)
    like a swarm of locusts people pounce on it.
