O Yahweh, have pity on us.
    We wait with hope for you.
    Be our strength in the morning.
    Yes, be our savior in times of trouble.

    Nations scatter when you attack.
You nations, your loot is gathered as grasshoppers harvest a crop.
    Like swarming locusts, people rush for your loot.

Your plunder,(H) O nations, is harvested(I) as by young locusts;(J)
    like a swarm of locusts people pounce on it.
