SelahH55426They 20returnH7725 at eveningH6153, they howlH1993 like a 21dogH3611, And prowlH5437 aroundH5437 the cityH5892.7BeholdH2009, they 22gushH5042 forthH5042 with their mouthsH6310; 23SwordsH2719 are in their lipsH8193, For, they say, “24WhoH4310 hearsH8085?”8But You, LordH3068, 25laughH7832 at them; You 26scoffH3932 at allH3605 the nationsH1471.

9Because of 27his 28strengthH5797 I will watchH8104 for You, For GodH430 is my 29refugeH4869.1030My GodH430 31in His faithfulnessH2617 will meetH6923 me; GodH430 will let me 32lookH7200 triumphantly upon my enemiesH7796.11Do not killH2026 them, 33orH6435 my peopleH5971 will forgetH7911; 3435ScatterH5128 them by Your powerH2428 and bringH3381 them downH3381, LordH136, 36our shieldH4043.1237On account of the 38sinH2403 of their mouthsH6310 and the wordsH1697 of their lipsH8193, May they even be 39caughtH3920 in their prideH1347, And onH4480 accountH4480 ofH4480 40cursesH423 and liesH3585 which they tellH5608.134142DestroyH3615 them in wrathH2534, 43destroyH3615 them so that they will noH369 longerH369 existH369; So that people may 44knowH3045 that GodH430 45rulesH4910 in JacobH3290, To the endsH657 of the earthH776. SelahH554214They 46returnH7725 at eveningH6153, they howlH1993 like a dogH3611, And prowlH5437 aroundH5437 the cityH5892.15They 47wanderH5128 aboutH5128 48for foodH398 And 49murmurH3885 ifH518 they areH7646 not satisfiedH7646.

16But as for me, I will 50singH7891 of Your strengthH5797; Yes, I will 51joyfullyH7442 singH7442 of Your faithfulnessH2617 in the 52morningH1242, For You have beenH1961 my 53refugeH4869 And a 54placeH4498 ofH4498 refugeH4498 on the dayH3117 of my distressH6862.1755My strengthH5797, I will singH2167 praisesH2167 to You; For GodH430 is my 56refugeH4869, the 57GodH430 who shows me favorH2617.
