ISV(i)
5 You, LORD God of the Heavenly Armies, God of Israel, stir yourself up to punish all the nations. Show no mercy to those wicked transgressors. Interlude
6 At night they return like howling dogs; they prowl around the city.
7 Look what pours out of their mouths! They use their lips like swords, saying “Who will hear us?”
8 But you, LORD, will laugh at them; you will mock all the nations.
9 My Strength, I will watch for you, for God is my fortress.
10 My God of Gracious Love will meet me; God will enable me to see what happens to my enemies.
11 Don’t kill them! Otherwise, my people may forget. By your power make them stumble around; bring them down low, Lord, our Shield.
12 The sin of their mouth is the word on their lips. They will be caught in their own conceit; for they speak curses and lies.
13 Go ahead and destroy them in anger! Wipe them out, and they will know to the ends of the earth that God rules over Jacob. Interlude
