God, (A)shatter their teeth in their mouth;
Break out the fangs of the young lions, Lord.
May they (B)flow away like water that runs off;
When he [a](C)aims his arrows, may they be as [b]headless shafts.
May they be like a snail which goes along in slime,
Like the (D)miscarriage of a woman that never sees the sun.
Before your (E)pots can feel the fire of thorns
He will (F)sweep them away with a whirlwind, the [c]green and the burning alike.

10 The (G)righteous will rejoice when he (H)sees vengeance;
He will (I)wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
11 And people will say, “There certainly is [d](J)a reward for the righteous;
There certainly is a God who (K)judges on the earth!”
