Psalms 59:14
Compare all
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. 
13 aConsume them in wrath, consume them,
That they may not be;
And blet them know that God rules in Jacob
To the ends of the earth. Selah 
14 And aat evening they return,
They growl like a dog,
And go all around the city. 
15 They awand1er up and down for food,
And howl if they are not satisfied. 
16 But I will sing of Your power;
Yes, I will sing aloud of Your mercy in the morning;
For You have been my defense
And refuge in the day of my trouble.
17 To You, aO my Strength, I will sing praises;
For God is my defense,
My God of mercy.

Psalms 59:14

At evening let them return - He had mentioned before, Psalms 59:6 that these persons came like beasts of prey round the city striving to get in, that they might take possession. Now, being fully assured of God' s protection and that they shall soon be made a public example, he says, Let them return and make a noise like a dog, etc., like dogs, jackals, and other famished creatures, who come howling about the city-walls for something to eat, and wander up and down for meat, grumbling because they are not satisfied, Psalms 59:15. Nehemiah had made up all the breaches; and had the city guarded so well day and night, by watches who continually relieved each other, that there was no longer any fear of being taken by surprise: and now they must feel like the hungry beasts who were disappointed of their prey.
