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.
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.
