Psalm 59:5-8

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁵ You, Lord God of hosts, are God of Israel.
Awake to punish all the nations;
spare none of those who treacherously plot evil. Selah^(A)

⁶Each evening they come back
    howling like dogs
    and prowling about the city.^(B)
⁷There they are, bellowing with their mouths,
    with sharp words^[a] on their lips,
    for “Who,” they think,^[b] “will hear us?”^(C)

⁸But you laugh at them, O Lord;
you hold all the nations in derision.^(D)
