Rise Up, O Lord!

Isaiah 33

¹Woe to you who destroy, even though you have not been destroyed,

you who betray, though you have not been betrayed!
When you have finished destroying, you will be destroyed,
and when you have finished betraying, you will be betrayed.

²O Lord, be gracious to us. We wait hopefully for you.
Be our strength every morning.
Be our salvation in times of trouble.
³At the thunder of your voice, people flee.
When you stir up your great power, nations scatter.
⁴Your plunder will be taken away
the way a caterpillar^[1] eats things up.
People will swarm on it like a locust swarm.
⁵The Lord is exalted, because he dwells on high.

You who are close by, acknowledge my mighty acts.

¹⁴The sinners in Zion are afraid.
Trembling has seized the ungodly.
Who of us can live with a consuming fire?
Who of us can live in a place that burns without end?
¹⁵Those who walk righteously and speak blamelessly,
those who despise dishonest gain,
whose hands refuse a bribe,
whose ears will not listen to violent plans,
whose eyes reject evil—
¹⁶they will dwell on high.
Their defense will be a fortress on the cliffs.
Their bread will be provided.
Their water supply will be reliable.

¹⁷Your eyes will see the King^[5] in his splendor.
They will see a land that stretches far and wide.
¹⁸Your heart will think about the past terrors.
You will think, “Where is the one who took the inventory?^[6]
