9 There are no more miraclesand no more prophets.Who knows how longit will be like this?
10 Our God, how much longerwill our enemies sneer?Won't they ever stopinsulting you?
11 Why don't you punish them?Why are you holding back?
12 Our God and King,you have ruledsince ancient times;you have won victorieseverywhere on this earth.

14 You crushed the headsof the monster Leviathan,then fed him to wild creaturesin the desert.
