You, (A)Lord God of armies, the God of Israel,
Awake to [a](B)punish all the nations;
(C)Do not be gracious to any who deal treacherously in wrongdoing. Selah
They (D)return at evening, they howl like a (E)dog,
And prowl around the city.
Behold, they (F)gush forth with their mouths;
(G)Swords are in their lips,
For, they say, “(H)Who hears?”
But You, Lord, (I)laugh at them;
You (J)scoff at all the nations.

Because of [b]his (K)strength I will watch for You,
For God is my (L)refuge.
10 [c]My God (M)in His faithfulness will meet me;
God will let me (N)look triumphantly upon my enemies.
