The spoil of the nations is gathered—swiftly and decisively—
    as a hungry locust gathers, as a swarm of locusts rushes to strip the land.
The Eternal One is high above it all; for that is where He lives;
    He will fill Zion (that heaven on earth) with justice and all manner of doing right.

God will be what holds things together,
    fast and firm during these times.
He will be boundless salvation,
    the roots and fruits of wisdom and knowledge.
Zion’s most precious possession
    is the people’s awe-filled respect of the Eternal.

Your plunder,(A) O nations, is harvested(B) as by young locusts;(C)
    like a swarm of locusts people pounce on it.

The Lord is exalted,(D) for he dwells on high;(E)
    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)
