Isaiah 33:2-4

New Catholic Bible

² O Lord, be merciful to us,
    for we have placed our hope in you.
Be our strength every morning,
    our salvation in times of trouble.
³ At the sound of tumult, peoples flee;
    nations scatter when they behold your majesty.
⁴ Your spoil is gathered as if by caterpillars;
    like a swarm of locusts men descend upon it.
