Psalms 59:7-15

7Look, they spew from their mouths — sharp words from their lips. “For who,” they say, “will hear?”

8But you laugh at them, Lord; you ridicule all the nations.

9I will keep watch for you, my strength, because God is my stronghold.

10My faithful God will come to meet me; God will let me look down on my adversaries.

11Do not kill them; otherwise, my people will forget. By your power, make them homeless wanderers and bring them down, Lord, our shield.

12For the sin of their mouths and the words of their lips, let them be caught in their pride. They utter curses and lies.

13Consume them in fury; consume them until they are gone. Then people will know throughout the earth that God rules over Jacob.Selah

14And they return at evening, snarling like dogs and prowling around the city.

15They scavenge for food; they growl if they are not satisfied.
