Like locusts, your enemies will take away the things you stole in war.
    Like locusts rushing about, they will take your wealth.
The Lord is very great. He lives in a high place.
    He fills Jerusalem with fairness and justice.
The Lord will be your safety.
    He is full of salvation, wisdom and knowledge.
    Respect for the Lord is the greatest treasure.

    he will fill Zion with his justice(F) and righteousness.(G)
He will be the sure foundation for your times,
    a rich store of salvation(H) and wisdom and knowledge;
    the fear(I) of the Lord is the key to this treasure.[a](J)
