You nations, your loot is gathered as grasshoppers harvest a crop.
    Like swarming locusts, people rush for your loot.

Yahweh is honored because he lives on high.
    He will fill Zion with justice and righteousness.
He will be the foundation of your future.
    The riches of salvation are wisdom and knowledge.
    The fear of Yahweh is your treasure.
