Behold, they ^(o)belch forth with their mouth; ^(p)Swords are in their lips, For, they say, "^(q)Who hears?"

But You, O Lord , ^(r)laugh at them; You ^(s)scoff at all the nations.

Because of ^[m]his ^(t)strength I will watch for You, For God is my ^(u)stronghold.

^[n]My God ^(v)in His lovingkindness will meet me; God will let me ^(w)look triumphantly upon ^[o]my foes.

Do not slay them, ^(x)or my people will forget; ^[p](y)Scatter them by Your power, and bring them down, O Lord, ^(z)our shield.

^[q]On account of the ^(aa)sin of their mouth and the words of their lips, Let them even be ^(ab)caught in their pride, And on account of ^(ac)curses and ^[r]lies which they utter.

^[s](ad)Destroy them in wrath, ^[t]destroy them that they may be no more; That men may ^(ae)know that God ^[u]rules in Jacob To the ends of the earth. Selah.

They ^(af)return at evening, they howl like a dog, And go around the city.

They ^(ag)wander about ^[v]for food And ^[w]growl if they are not satisfied.

But as for me, I shall ^(ah)sing of Your strength; Yes, I shall ^(ai)joyfully sing of Your lovingkindness in the ^(aj)morning, For You have been my ^(ak)stronghold And a ^(al)refuge in the day of my distress.

^(am)O my strength, I will sing praises to You; For God is my ^(an)stronghold, the ^[x]God who shows me lovingkindness.
