Psalms 59:6 Context
4They runne and prepare themselues without my fault: awake to helpe me, and behold. 5Thou therefore, O Lord God of hostes, the God of Israel, awake to visite all the heathen: be not mercifull to any wicked transgressours. Selah. 6They returne at euening: they make a noise like a dogge, and go round about the citie. 7Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lippes; for who, say they, doeth heare? 8But thou, O Lord, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt haue all the heathen in derision.
