Amplified Bible
Psalms 59:7-15
7Look how they belch out [insults] with their mouths; Swords [of sarcasm, ridicule, slander, and lies] are in their lips, For they say, “Who hears us?”
8But You, O Lord, will laugh at them [in scorn]; You scoff at and deride all the nations.
9O [God] my strength, I will watch for You; For God is my stronghold [my refuge, my protector, my high tower].
10My God in His [steadfast] lovingkindness will meet me; God will let me look triumphantly on my enemies [who lie in wait for me].
11Do not kill them, or my people will forget; Scatter them and make them wander [endlessly] back and forth by Your power, and bring them down, O Lord our shield!
12For the sin of their mouths and the words of their lips, Let them even be trapped in their pride, And on account of the curses and lies which they tell.
13Destroy them in wrath, destroy them so that they may be no more; Let them know that God rules over Jacob (Israel) To the ends of the earth. Selah.
14They return at evening, they howl and snarl like dogs, And go [prowling] around the city.
15They wander around for food [to devour] And growl all night if they are not satisfied.
