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.
13
Consume
them in wrath, consume
them that they
may not
be and let them know that God rules in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. Selah.
14
And at evening let them return
and let them bark like dogs and go round about
outside the city.
15
Let them wander up and down for food and murmur if they are not satisfied.
16
But I will sing of thy power; I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning, for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble.
17
Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing, for God
is my defence
and the God of my mercy.
