Psalms 59:4-12

⁴(59-5) Without my fault, they run and prepare themselves; awake Thou to help me, and behold.

⁵(59-6) Thou therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, arouse Thyself to punish all the nations; show no mercy to any iniquitous traitors. Selah

⁶(59-7) They return at evening, they howl like a dog, and go round about the city.

⁷(59-8) Behold, they belch out with their mouth; swords are in their lips: 'For who doth hear?'

⁸(59-9) But Thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; Thou shalt have all the nations in derision.

⁹(59-10) Because of his strength, I will wait for Thee; for God is my high tower.

¹⁰(59-11) The God of my mercy will come to meet me; God will let me gaze upon mine adversaries.

¹¹(59-12) Slay them not, lest my people forget, make them wander to and fro by Thy power, and bring them down, O Lord our shield.

¹²(59-13) For the sin of their mouth, and the words of their lips, let them even be taken in their pride, and for cursing and lying which they speak.
