Psalms 59:6-11
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 59
6They return at evening, they howl like a dog, And prowl around the city. 7Behold, they gush forth with their mouths; Swords are in their lips, For, they say, 'Who hears?' 8But You, Lord, laugh at them; You scoff at all the nations. 9 Because of his strength I will watch for You, For God is my refuge. 10 My God in His faithfulness will meet me; God will let me look triumphantly upon my enemies. 11Do not kill them, or my people will forget; Scatter them by Your power and bring them down, Lord, our shield.King James Version
Chapter 59
6They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city. 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.
10The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies.
11Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield.

Chapter 59
6They return at evening, snarling like dogs and prowling around the city. 7Look, they spew from their mouths -- sharp words from their lips. "For who," they say, "will hear? " 8But you laugh at them, Lord; you ridicule all the nations. 9I will keep watch for you, my strength, because God is my stronghold.New Living Translation
Chapter 59
6They come out at night, snarling like vicious dogs as they prowl the streets. 7Listen to the filth that comes from their mouths; their words cut like swords. 'After all, who can hear us?' they sneer. 8But Lord, you laugh at them. You scoff at all the hostile nations. 9You are my strength; I wait for you to rescue me, for you, O God, are my fortress. 10In his unfailing love, my God will stand with me. He will let me look down in triumph on all my enemies.English Standard Version

6Each evening they come back, howling like dogs and prowling about the city. 7There they are, bellowing with their mouths with swords in their lips— for “Who,” they think, “will hear us?” 8But you, O LORD, laugh at them; you hold all the nations in derision. 9O my Strength, I will watch for you, for you, O God, are my fortress. 10My God in his steadfast love will meet me; God will let me look in triumph on my enemies. 11Kill them not, lest my people forget; make them totter by your power and bring them down, O Lord, our shield!New International Version
