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.
12. For the sin of their mouths,the words that they speak,let them be captured in their pride.For the curses and lies they repeat,
13. finish them off in anger;finish them off until they are gone!Then let it be known to the ends of the earththat God rules over Jacob. Selah
14. They come back every evening,growling like dogs,prowling around the city.
15. They roam about for food,and if they don’t get their fill,they stay all night.
16. But me? I will sing of your strength!In the morning I will shout out loudabout your faithful lovebecause you have been my stronghold,my shelter when I was distraught.
17. I will sing praises to you, my strength,because God is my stronghold,my loving God.
