Selah 59:6 They return at evening, they howl like a dog, And go round about the city. 59:7 Behold, they belch out with their mouth; Swords are in their lips: For who, [say they], doth hear? 59:8 But thou, O Jehovah, wilt laugh at them; Thou wilt have all the nations in derision. 59:9 [Because of] his strength I will give heed unto thee; For God is my high tower. 59:10 My God with his lovingkindness will meet me: God will let me see [my desire] upon mine enemies. 59:11 Slay them not, lest my people forget: Scatter them by thy power, and bring them down, O Lord our shield. 59:12 [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. 59:13 Consume them in wrath, consume them, so that they shall be no more: And let them know that God ruleth in Jacob, Unto the ends of the earth. Selah 59:14 And at evening let them return, let them howl like a dog, And go round about the city. 59:15 They shall wander up and down for food, And tarry all night if they be not satisfied. 59:16 But I will sing of thy strength; Yea, I will sing aloud of thy lovingkindness in the morning: For thou hast been my high tower, And a refuge in the day of my distress. 59:17 Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing praises: For God is my high tower, the God of my mercy.
