6. They return in the evening;they growl like a dogand prowl around outside the city.
7. Look, they hurl insults at meand openly threaten to kill me,for they say,“Who hears?”
8. But you, O Lord, laugh in disgust at them;you taunt all the nations.
9. You are my source of strength! I will wait for you!For God is my refuge.
10. The God who loves me will help me;God will enable me to triumph over my enemies.
11. Do not strike them dead suddenly,because then my people might forget the lesson.Use your power to make them homeless vagabonds and then bring them down,O Lord who shields us!
