Psalm 59:6-8
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
6 You, Lord God of hosts, are the God of Israel!
Awake! Punish all the nations.
Have no mercy on these worthless traitors.
Selah
7 Each evening they return,
growling like dogs, prowling the city.(A)
8 Their mouths pour out insult;
sharp words are on their lips.
They say: “Who is there to hear?”[a]
Footnotes
- 59:8 Who is there to hear?: a sample of the enemies’ godless reflection. The answer is that God hears their blasphemies.
