6-8. I prayed, “God, you’re my God!Listen, God! Mercy!God, my Lord, Strong Savior,protect me when the fighting breaks out!Don’t let the wicked have their way, God,don’t give them an inch!”
9-11. These troublemakers all around me—let them drown in their own verbal poison.Let God pile hellfire on them,let him bury them alive in crevasses!These loudmouths—don’t let them be taken seriously;These savages—let the Devil hunt them down!
12-13. I know that you, God, are on the side of victims,that you care for the rights of the poor.And I know that the righteous personally thank you,that good people are secure in your presence.
