Each evening they (A)come back,
    howling like dogs
    and prowling about the city.
There they are, (B)bellowing with their mouths
    with (C)swords in their lips—
    for (D)“Who,” they think,[a] “will hear us?”

But you, O Lord, (E)laugh at them;
    you hold all the nations in derision.
O my Strength, I will watch for you,
    for you, O God, are (F)my fortress.
10 (G)My God in his steadfast love[b] (H)will meet me;
    God will let me (I)look in triumph on my enemies.
