5
You, Yahweh God of hosts, the God of Israel, Rouse yourself to punish the nations. Show no mercy to the wicked traitors. Selah.
6
They return at evening, howling like dogs, And prowl around the city.
7
Behold, they spew with their mouth. Swords are in their lips, "For," they say, "who hears us?"
8
But you, Yahweh, laugh at them. You scoff at all the nations.
9
Oh, my Strength, I watch for you, For God is my high tower.
10
My God will go before me with his lovingkindness. God will let me look at my enemies in triumph.
11
Don`t kill them, or my people may forget. Scatter them by your power, and bring them down, Lord our shield.
12
For the sin of their mouth, and the words of their lips, Let them be caught in their pride, For the curses and lies which they utter.
13
Consume them in wrath. Consume them, and they will be no more. Let them know that God rules in Jacob, To the ends of the earth. Selah.
