3For, lo! they lie in wait for my life; The mighty are gathered against me, Without any offence or fault of mine, O LORD!
4Without any offence of mine, they run and prepare themselves; Awake to help me, and behold!
5Do thou, O Jehovah, God of hosts, God of Israel, Awake to punish all the nations! Show no mercy to any wicked transgressors! Pause.
6Let them return at evening, Let them howl like dogs, And go round about the city!
7Behold! with their mouths they belch out malice; Swords are upon their lips; “For who,” say they, “will hear?”
8Yet thou, O LORD! wilt laugh at them; Thou wilt hold all the nations in derision!
9O my Strength! to thee will I look! For God is my defence;
