6:14 Remember, O my God, Tobiah and Sanballat in light of these actions of theirs – also Noadiah the prophetess and the other prophets who were trying to scare me!
59:5 You, O Lord God, the invincible warrior, 1 the God of Israel,
rouse yourself and punish 2 all the nations!
Have no mercy on any treacherous evildoers! (Selah)
59:6 They return in the evening;
they growl 3 like a dog
and prowl around outside 4 the city.
59:7 Look, they hurl insults at me
and openly threaten to kill me, 5
for they say, 6
“Who hears?”
59:8 But you, O Lord, laugh in disgust at them; 7
you taunt 8 all the nations.
59:9 You are my source of strength! I will wait for you! 9
For God is my refuge. 10
59:10 The God who loves me will help me; 11
God will enable me to triumph over 12 my enemies. 13
59:11 Do not strike them dead suddenly,
because then my people might forget the lesson. 14
Use your power to make them homeless vagabonds and then bring them down,
O Lord who shields us! 15
59:12 They speak sinful words. 16
So let them be trapped by their own pride
and by the curses and lies they speak!
59:13 Angrily wipe them out! Wipe them out so they vanish!
Let them know that God rules
in Jacob and to the ends of the earth! (Selah)
59:2 Deliver me from evildoers! 17
Rescue me from violent men! 18
