^{5 Ref} And Thou, Jehovah, God of Hosts, God of Israel, Awake to inspect all the nations. Favour not any treacherous dealers of iniquity. Selah.

^{6 Ref} They turn back at evening, They make a noise like a dog, And go round about the city.

^{7 Ref} Lo, they belch out with their mouths, Swords `are' in their lips, for `Who heareth?'

^{8 Ref} And Thou, O Jehovah dost laugh at them, Thou dost mock at all the nations.

^{9 Ref} O my Strength, unto Thee I take heed, For God `is' my tower -- the God of my kindness.

^{10 Ref} God doth go before me, He causeth me to look on mine enemies.

^{11 Ref} Slay them not, lest my people forget, Shake them by Thy strength, And bring them down, O Lord our shield.

^{12 Ref} The sin of their mouth `is' a word of their lips, And they are captured in their pride, And from the curse and lying they recount.

^{13 Ref} Consume in fury, consume and they are not, And they know that God is ruling in Jacob, To the ends of the earth. Selah.
