Isaiah 33:2-4

New International Reader's Version

² Lord, have mercy on us.
    We long for you to help us.
Make us strong every morning.
    Save us when we’re in trouble.
³ At the roar of your army, the nations run away.
    When you rise up against them, they scatter.
⁴ Nations, what you have taken in battle is destroyed.
    It’s as if young locusts had eaten it up.
Like large numbers of locusts,
    people rush to get it.
