7 Behold, they speak with their mouth, and swords are in their lips: for who doth hear?
8 But thou, O Lord, shalt have them in derision: and thou shalt laugh all the heathen to scorn.
9 My strength will I ascribe unto thee: for thou art the God of my refuge.
10 God sheweth me his goodness plenteously: and God shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies.
11 Slay them not, lest my people forget it: but scatter them abroad among the people, and put them down, O Lord, our defence.
12 For the sin of their mouth, and for the words of their lips, they shall be taken in their pride: and why? their preaching is of cursing and lies.
13 Consume them in thy wrath, consume them, that they may perish: and know that it is God that ruleth in Jacob, and unto the ends of the world.
14 And in the evening they will return: grin like a dog, and will go about the city.
15 They will run here and there for meat: and grudge if they be not satisfied.
16 As for me, I will sing of thy power, and will praise thy mercy betimes in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble.
