Psalm 59:5-13 - Heartlight

⁵O LORD God of Hosts, the God of Israel,

rouse Yourself to punish all the nations;

show no mercy to the wicked traitors.

⁶They return in the evening, snarling like dogs

and prowling around the city.

⁷See what they spew from their mouths—

sharp words from their lips:

“For who can hear us?”

⁸But You, O LORD, laugh at them;

You scoff at all the nations.

⁹I will keep watch for You, O my strength,

because You, O God, are my fortress.

¹⁰My God of loving devotion will come to meet me;

God will let me stare down my foes.

¹¹Do not kill them,

or my people will forget.

Scatter them by Your power,

and bring them down,

O Lord, our shield.

¹²By the sins of their mouths

and the words of their lips,

let them be trapped in their pride,

in the curses and lies they utter.

¹³Consume them in wrath;

consume them till they are no more,

so it may be known to the ends of the earth

that God rules over Jacob.
