8. But you laugh at them, Lord;you mock all the heathen.
9. I have confidence in your strength;you are my refuge, O God.
10. My God loves me and will come to me;he will let me see my enemies defeated.
11. Do not kill them, O God, or my people may forget.Scatter them by your strength and defeat them,O Lord, our protector.
12. Sin is on their lips; all their words are sinful;may they be caught in their pride!Because they curse and lie,
13. destroy them in your anger;destroy them completely.Then everyone will know that God rules in Israel,that his rule extends over all the earth.
14. My enemies come back in the evening,snarling like dogs as they go about the city,
15. like dogs roaming about for foodand growling if they do not find enough.
