9O my Strength, I watch for you; you, O God, are my fortress,


In Context

6 They return at evening, snarling like dogs, and prowl about the city.

7 See what they spew from their mouths- they spew out swords from their lips, and they say, "Who can hear us?"

8 But you, O Lord , laugh at them; you scoff at all those nations.

9 O my Strength, I watch for you; you, O God, are my fortress,

10 my loving God. God will go before me and will let me gloat over those who slander me.

11 But do not kill them, O Lord our shield, or my people will forget. In your might make them wander about, and bring them down.
