Psalms 59:4-11

⁴For no sin of mine they go quickly and get themselves ready; be awake and come to my help, and see.

⁵You, O Lord God of armies, are the God of Israel; come now and give punishment to the nations; have no mercy on any workers of deceit. (Selah.)

⁶They come back in the evening; they make a noise like a dog, and go round the town.

⁷See, hate is dropping from their lips; curses are on their tongues: they say, Who gives attention to it?

⁸But you are laughing at them, O Lord; you will make sport of all the nations.

⁹O my strength, I will put my hope in you; because God is my strong tower.

¹⁰The God of my mercy will go before me: God will let me see my desire effected on my haters.

¹¹Put them not to death, for so my people will keep the memory of them: let them be sent in all directions by your power; make them low, O Lord our saviour.
