Is 33:2-9

2LORD, be gracious to us; for you we wait.

Be our strength every morning,

our salvation in time of trouble!^b

3At the roaring sound, peoples flee;

when you rise in your majesty, nations are scattered.^c

4Spoil is gathered up as caterpillars gather,

an onrush like the rush of locusts.^d

5The LORD is exalted, enthroned on high;

he fills Zion with right and justice.^e

6That which makes her seasons certain,

her wealth, salvation, wisdom, and knowledge,

is the fear of the LORD, her treasure.^f

7See, the men of Ariel cry out in the streets,

the messengers of Shalem^* weep bitterly.

8The highways are desolate,

travelers have quit the paths,

Covenants are broken, witnesses spurned;

yet no one gives it a thought.^g

9The country languishes in mourning,

Lebanon withers with shame;

Sharon^* is like the Arabah,

Bashan and Carmel are stripped bare.^h
