5. Thou, therefore, O Lord God of the hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the Gentiles; be not merciful to any rebellious workers of iniquity. Selah.
6. They will return at evening; they will bark like dogs and go round about outside the city.
7. Behold, they belch out with their mouth; swords are in their lips; for who, say they, doth hear?
8. But thou, O Lord, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the Gentiles in derision.
9. I will reserve his strength unto thee, for God is my defence.
10. The God of my mercy shall meet me on the way; God shall let me see my desire upon my enemies.
11. Slay them not lest my people forget; scatter them by thy power and bring them down, O Lord our shield.
12. For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips, let them even be taken in their pride; they shall be subject to weakness and to a curse.
