⁶ Each evening they come back
    howling like dogs
    and prowling about the city.^(A)
7 There they are, bellowing with their mouths,
    with sharp words^[a] on their lips,
    for “Who,” they think,^[b] “will hear us?”^(B)

⁸ But you laugh at them, O Lord;
    you hold all the nations in derision.^(C)
