Psalms [Praises] 59:7-13

⁷Behold, they spew with their mouth. Swords are in their lips, “For,” they say, “who sh'ma ·hears obeys· us?”

⁸But you, Adonai , laugh at them. You scoff at all the nations.

⁹Oh, my Strength, I watch for you, for God is my high tower.

¹⁰My God will go before me with his cheshed ·loving-kindness·. God will let me look at my enemies in triumph.

¹¹Don’t kill them, or my people may forget. Scatter them by your power, and bring them down, Lord our shield.

¹²For the sin of their mouth, and the words of their lips, let them be caught in their pride, for the curses and lies which they utter.

¹³Consume them in wrath. Consume them, and they will be no more. Let them know that God rules in Jacob Supplanter, to the ends of the earth. Selah ·contemplation with musical interlude·.
