11 Slay them not, lest my people forget;
    make them totter by thy power, and bring them down,
    O Lord, our shield!
12 For the sin of their mouths, the words of their lips,
    let them be trapped in their pride.
For the cursing and lies which they utter,
13     consume them in wrath,
    consume them till they are no more,
that men may know that God rules over Jacob
    to the ends of the earth.Selah
