3. Look! They are waiting to kill me;cruel people are gathering against me.It is not because of any sin or wrong I have done,
4. nor because of any fault of mine, O Lord,that they hurry to their places.
5. Rise, Lord God Almighty, and come to my aid;see for yourself, God of Israel!Wake up and punish the heathen;show no mercy to evil traitors!
6. They come back in the evening,snarling like dogs as they go about the city.
7. Listen to their insults and threats.Their tongues are like swords in their mouths,yet they think that no one hears them.
8. But you laugh at them, Lord;you mock all the heathen.
