4Not because of any guilt of mine *
they run and prepare themselves for battle.
5Rouse yourself, come to my side, and see; *
for you, Lord God of hosts, are Israel’s God.
6Awake, and punish all the ungodly; *
show no mercy to those who are faithless and evil.
7They go to and fro in the evening; *
they snarl like dogs and run about the city.
8Behold, they boast with their mouths,
and taunts are on their lips; *
“For who.” they say, “will hear us?”
9But you, O Lord, you laugh at them; *
you laugh all the ungodly to scorn.
10My eyes are fixed on you, O my Strength; *
for you, O God, are my stronghold.
11My merciful God comes to meet me; *
God will let me look in triumph on my enemies.
12Slay them, O God, lest my people forget; *
send them reeling by your might
and put them down, O Lord our shield.
13For the sins of their mouths, for the words of their lips,
for the cursing and lies that they utter, *
let them be caught in their pride.
14Make an end of them in your wrath; *
make an end of them, and they shall be no more.
15Let everyone know that God rules in Jacob, *
and to the ends of the earth.
16They go to and fro in the evening; *
they snarl like dogs and run about the city.
