For you are the Lord God Almighty,
    the God that Israel serves.
Get up and punish all the foreign nations.
Do not forgive any wicked people
    who have turned against us.

    and they cry out like dogs.
They shout evil things,
    and their words hurt like swords.
They think, ‘Nobody can hear what we say!’

    and they think, “Who can hear us?”(H)
