Psalms 59:4-13

⁴They run and prepare themselves without my fault: awake to help me, and behold.

⁵Thou therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah.

⁶They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go about the city.

⁷Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips: for who, say they , doth hear?

⁸But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision.

⁹Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: for God is my defense.

¹⁰The God of my mercy will succor me: God will let me see my desire upon my enemies.

¹¹Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O LORD our shield.

¹²For 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.

¹³Consume them in wrath, consume them , that they may not be : and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob to the ends of the earth. Selah.
