8. They said in their hearts, “We will destroy them all!Burn all the assembly-places of God in the land!”
9. Even so we have seen no signs for us,there is no prophet any more,no one among us who knows for how long.
10. How long, O God, will the enemy jeer?Will the enemy revile your name forever?
11. Why draw back your hand,why hold back your right hand within your bosom?
12. Yet you, God, are my king from of old,winning victories throughout the earth.
13. You stirred up the sea by your might;you smashed the heads of the dragons on the waters.
14. You crushed the heads of Leviathan,gave him as food to the sharks.
15. You opened up springs and torrents,brought dry land out of the primeval waters.
16. Yours the day and yours the night too;you set the moon and sun in place.
