Psalms 59:7-15

7There they are, bellowing with their mouths with swords in their lips— for "Who," they think, "will hear us?"

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

9O my Strength, I will watch for you, for you, O God, are my fortress.

10My God in his steadfast love will meet me; God will let me look in triumph on my enemies.

11Kill them not, lest my people forget; make them totter by your power and bring them down, O Lord, our shield!

12For the sin of their mouths, the words of their lips, let them be trapped in their pride. For the cursing and lies that they utter,

13consume them in wrath; consume them till they are no more, that they may know that God rules over Jacob to the ends of the earth. Selah

14Each evening they come back, howling like dogs and prowling about the city.

15They wander about for food and growl if they do not get their fill.
