Psalms 59:7-15

7Behold, they belch outH5042 with their mouthH6310: swordsH2719 are in their lipsH8193: for who, say they, doth hearH8085?

8But thou, O YhwhH3068, shalt laughH7832 at them; thou shalt have all the heathenH1471 in derisionH3932.

9Because of his strengthH5797 will I waitH8104 upon thee: for GodH430 is my defenceH4869.1

10The GodH430 of my mercyH2617 shall preventH6923 me: GodH430 shall let me seeH7200 my desire upon mine enemiesH8324.2

11SlayH2026 them not, lest my peopleH5971 forgetH7911: scatterH5128 them by thy powerH2428; and bring them downH3381, O LordH136 our shieldH4043.

12For the sinH2403 of their mouthH6310 and the wordsH1697 of their lipsH8193 let them even be takenH3920 in their prideH1347: and for cursingH423 and lyingH3585 which they speakH5608.

13ConsumeH3615 them in wrathH2534, consumeH3615 them, that they may not be: and let them knowH3045 that GodH430 rulethH4910 in JacobH3290 unto the endsH657 of the earthH776. SelahH5542.

14And at eveningH6153 let them returnH7725; and let them make a noiseH1993 like a dogH3611, and go round aboutH5437 the cityH5892.

15Let them wander up and downH5128 for meatH398, and grudgeH3885 if they be not satisfiedH7646.34
