6. Each evening they come back,howling like dogsand prowling about the city.
7. There they are, bellowing with their mouthswith swords in their lips—for “Who,” they think, “will hear us?”
8. But you, O Lord, laugh at them;you hold all the nations in derision.
9. O my Strength, I will watch for you,for you, O God, are my fortress.
10. My God in his steadfast love will meet me;God will let me look in triumph on my enemies.
11. Kill them not, lest my people forget;make them totter by your power and bring them down,O Lord, our shield!
