Psalm 59:7-9

The Voice

⁷Watch them! Snarling, dribbling their malicious insults.
Their words cut loose from their lips like swords,
and in their backstabbing they say, “Who’s listening anyway?”

⁸But You, O Eternal One, laugh at them;
You make fun of all the nations.
⁹I will watch for You, for You keep me strong.
God, You are my security!

⁷Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, doth hear?

⁸But thou, O Lord, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision.

⁹Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: for God is my defence.
