You nations, after the battle your valuable things will quickly disappear!
    It will seem like locusts have eaten them all.
Yes, we will take it all,
    like a hungry crowd of locusts.
The Lord is greater than all others.
    He lives high above the earth.
He will cause Zion's people to do what is right and fair.
Whatever happens, he will cause you to be strong.
He will always keep you safe,
    and he will make you wise,
    so that you understand things.
Respect the Lord with fear,
    and he will do all this for you.

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)
