A Prayer for Grace

Lord, be gracious to us; we long for you;
    and[a] be our strength[b] every morning,
        our salvation in times of trouble.
At the thunder of your voice, the peoples flee;
    at your silence,[c] the nations scatter.
Your plunder is gathered as when grasshoppers gather;
    just like[d] locusts pounce, people have pounced[e] on it.
