Psalms 59:5-10

⁵You are God, the Lord Almighty, God of Israel. Stand up, and punish all the nations. Don't have any mercy on these evil traitors. Selah.

⁶In the evening they return, snarling like dogs as they roam around the city.

⁷See what evil talk comes pouring out of their mouths! Words sharp as swords, for they say to themselves, “Who can hear us?”

⁸But you, Lord, you laugh at them; you pour scorn on all the nations.

⁹You are my strength! I will look to you, God, for you are the one who protects me.

¹⁰In his trustworthy love, God will come and save me. He will show me how my enemies are defeated.
