Lord, (A)be gracious to us; we have (B)waited for You.
Be [a]their [b](C)strength every morning,
Our salvation also in the (D)time of distress.
At the sound of a roar, (E)peoples flee;
At the (F)lifting up of Yourself, nations disperse.
Your plunder is gathered as the caterpillar gathers;
Like an infestation of locusts, people storm it.
