5. You are the Lord God of heaven’s armies, the God of Israel.Come and punish those people.Do not give those traitors any mercy. Selah
6. They come back at night.Like dogs they growl and roam around the city.
7. Notice what comes from their mouths.Insults come from their lips.They say, “Who’s listening?”
8. But, Lord, you laugh at them.You make fun of all of them.
9. God, my strength, I wait for you.God, you are my protection.
10. My God loves me, and he will be with me.He will help me defeat my enemies.
11. Lord, our protector, do not kill them.If you do, my people will forget.With your power scatter themand defeat them.
12. They sin by what they say.They sin with their words.They curse and tell lies.So let their pride trap them.
13. Destroy them in your anger.Destroy them completely!Then they will knowthat God rules over Israeland to the ends of the earth. Selah
14. They come back at night.Like dogs they growland roam around the city.
