My Strength, I will watch for you, for God is my fortress.
10
God, who gives me grace, will come to me; God will let me gaze in triumph at my foes.
11
Don't kill them, or my people will forget; instead, by your power, make them wander to and fro; but bring them down, Adonai our Shield,
12
for the sins their mouths make with each word from their lips. Let them be trapped by their pride for the curses and falsehoods they utter.
13
Finish them off in wrath, finish them off, put an end to them, and let them know to the ends of the earth that God is Ruler in Ya'akov. (Selah)
14
They return at nightfall, snarling like dogs as they go around the city.
15
They roam about, looking for food, prowling all night if they don't get their fill.
16
But as for me, I will sing of your strength; in the morning I will sing aloud of your grace. For you are my fortress, a refuge when I am in trouble.
17
My Strength, I will sing praises to you, for God is my fortress, God, who gives me grace.
