7 They return at evening, snarling like a dog, prowling about the city.
8 See, they are spewing with their mouth —swords in their lips— “After all, who is listening?”
9 But You, Adonai, are laughing at them. You scoff at all the nations.
10 O my strength, I watch for You— for God is my strong tower.
11 My God in His lovingkindness will go before me. God will let me look down on my foes.
12 Do not slay them, lest my people forget. With Your power shake them and bring them down, O Lord our shield.
13 The sin of their mouth is the words of their lips. So let them be caught in their pride, and for uttering a curse and a lie.
