11 Do not kill them yet,
    or my people will soon forget.
Use your power to send them away without homes.
    Then make them fall!
You are our Lord
    who keeps us safe like a soldier's shield.
12 They speak bad words that are evil.
Let their own pride catch them in a trap,
    because they curse people,
    and they tell lies.
13 Because you are angry with them,
    destroy them!
Destroy them completely,
    so that they are no more.
Then everybody will know that God rules in Israel,
    and he rules everywhere in the earth.
Selah.

    for the words of their lips,(E)
    let them be caught in their pride.(F)
For the curses and lies they utter,
13     consume them in your wrath,
    consume them till they are no more.(G)
Then it will be known to the ends of the earth
    that God rules over Jacob.(H)
