Psalm 59:7-13
Holman Christian Standard Bible
7 Look, they spew from their mouths—
sharp words from[a] their lips.(A)
“For who,” they say, “will hear?”(B)
8 But You laugh at them, Lord;
You ridicule all the nations.(C)
9 I will keep watch for You, my[b] strength,
because God is my stronghold.(D)
10 My faithful God[c] will come to meet me;
God will let me look down on my adversaries.(E)
11 Do not kill them; otherwise, my people will forget.
By Your power, make them homeless wanderers(F)
and bring them down,
Lord, our shield.(G)
12 For the sin of their mouths and the words of their lips,
let them be caught in their pride.
They utter curses and lies.(H)
13 Consume them in rage;
consume them until they are gone.(I)
Then people will know throughout[d] the earth
that God rules over Jacob.(J)

7 See what they spew from their mouths(A)—
the words from their lips are sharp as swords,(B)
and they think, “Who can hear us?”(C)
8 But you laugh at them, Lord;(D)
you scoff at all those nations.(E)
9 You are my strength,(F) I watch for you;
you, God, are my fortress,(G)
10 my God on whom I can rely.
God will go before me
and will let me gloat over those who slander me.
11 But do not kill them, Lord our shield,[a](H)
or my people will forget.(I)
In your might uproot them
and bring them down.(J)
12 For the sins of their mouths,(K)
for the words of their lips,(L)
let them be caught in their pride.(M)
For the curses and lies they utter,
13 consume them in your wrath,
consume them till they are no more.(N)
Then it will be known to the ends of the earth
that God rules over Jacob.(O)
