(A)At evening they return,
They growl like a dog,
And go all around the city.
Indeed, they belch with their mouth;
(B)Swords are in their lips;
For they say, (C)“Who hears?”

But (D)You, O Lord, shall laugh at them;
You shall have all the [a]nations in derision.
I will wait for You, O You [b]his Strength;
(E)For God is my [c]defense.
10 [d]My God of mercy shall (F)come to meet me;
God shall let (G)me see my desire on my enemies.
