8. But thou, Jehovah, wilt laugh at them; thou wilt have all the nations in derision.
9. Their strength! ...I will take heed to thee; for God is my high fortress.
10. God, whose loving-kindness will come to meet me, --God shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies.
11. Slay them not, lest my people forget; by thy power make them wander, and bring them down, O Lord, our shield.
12. Because of the sin of their mouth, the word of their lips, let them even be taken in their pride; and because of cursing and lying which they speak.
13. Make an end in wrath, make an end, that they may be no more; that they may know that God ruleth in Jacob, unto the ends of the earth. Selah.
14. And in the evening they shall return, they shall howl like a dog, and go round about the city.
15. They shall wander about for meat, and stay all night if they be not satisfied.
16. But as for me, I will sing of thy strength; yea, I will sing aloud of thy loving-kindness in the morning; for thou hast been to me a high fortress, and a refuge in the day of my trouble.
17. Unto thee, my strength, will I sing psalms; for God is my high fortress, the God of my mercy.
