5. You are the Lord God of heavenly forces,the God of Israel!Wake up and punish all the nations!Grant no mercy to any wicked traitor! Selah
6. They come back every evening,growling like dogs,prowling around the city.
7. See what they belch out with their mouths:swords are between their lips!Who can listen to them?
8. But you, Lord, laugh at them.You mock all the nations.
9. I keep looking for you, my strength,because God is my stronghold.
10. My loving God will come to meet me.God will allow me to look down on my enemies.
11. Don’t kill them, or my people might forget;instead, by your powershake them up and bring them down,you who are our shield and my Lord.
