Psalm 59:3-8

View Full Chapter

3See how they lie in wait for me! Fierce men conspire against me for no offense or sin of mine, LORD .

4I have done no wrong, yet they are ready to attack me. Arise to help me; look on my plight!

5You, LORD God Almighty, you who are the God of Israel, rouse yourself to punish all the nations; show no mercy to wicked traitors. The Hebrew has Selah (a word of uncertain meaning) here and at the end of verse 13.

6They return at evening, snarling like dogs, and prowl about the city.

7See what they spew from their mouths— the words from their lips are sharp as swords, and they think, “Who can hear us?”

8But you laugh at them, LORD ; you scoff at all those nations.
