But (A)You, O Lord, shall laugh at them;
You shall have all the [a]nations in derision.
I will wait for You, O You [b]his Strength;
(B)For God is my [c]defense.
10 [d]My God of mercy shall (C)come to meet me;
God shall let (D)me see my desire on my enemies.

11 Do not slay them, lest my people forget;
Scatter them by Your power,
And bring them down,
O Lord our shield.
12 (E)For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips,
Let them even be taken in their pride,
And for the cursing and lying which they speak.
13 (F)Consume them in wrath, consume them,
That they may not be;
And (G)let them know that God rules in Jacob
To the ends of the earth. Selah
