Do something, God! Defend yourself. Remember how those fools sneer at you all day long.
But just look how Sennacherib has insulted you, the living God.
Fight to defend me, Lord God,
(A special psalm by David for the music leader. To the tune "Mahalath.") Only a fool would say, "There is no God!" People like that are worthless! They are heartless and cruel and never do right.
Remember your enemies, LORD! They foolishly sneer and won't respect you.
and now another nation has taken you prisoner for no reason at all. Your leaders groan with pain, and day after day my own name is cursed.
