Psalms 59:8 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 59:8

6 ^aAt evening they return,
They growl like a dog,
And go all around the city.

7 Indeed, they belch with their mouth;
^aSwords are in their lips;
For they say, ^b“Who hears?”

8 But ^aYou, O Lord, shall laugh at them;
You shall have all the¹ nations in derision.

9 I will wait for You, O You¹ his Strength;
^aFor God is my¹ defense.

10 ¹My God of mercy shall ^acome to meet me;
God shall let ^bme see my desire on my enemies.

11 Do not slay them, lest my people forget;
Scatter them by Your power,
And bring them down,
O Lord our shield.

12 ^aFor the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips,
Let them even be taken in their pride,
And for the cursing and lying which they speak.
