^{10 Ref} My God will go before me with his loving kindness. God will let me look at my enemies in triumph.

^{11 Ref} Don't kill them, or my people may forget. Scatter them by your power, and bring them down, Lord our shield.

^{12 Ref} For the sin of their mouth, and the words of their lips, Let them be caught in their pride, For the curses and lies which they utter.

^{13 Ref} Consume them in wrath. Consume them, and they will be no more. Let them know that God rules in Jacob, To the ends of the earth. Selah.
