7. See what they spew from their mouths –the words from their lips are sharp as swords,and they think, ‘Who can hear us?’
8. But you laugh at them, Lord;you scoff at all those nations.
9. You are my strength, I watch for you;you, God, are my fortress,
10. my God on whom I can rely.God will go before meand will let me gloat over those who slander me.
11. But do not kill them, Lord our shield,or my people will forget.In your might uproot themand bring them down.
12. For the sins of their mouths,for the words of their lips,let them be caught in their pride.For the curses and lies they utter,
13. consume them in your wrath,consume them till they are no more.Then it will be known to the ends of the earththat God rules over Jacob.
