Psalms 59 — Context

They speak sinful words. So let them be trapped by their own pride and by the curses and lies they speak!

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)

They return in the evening; they growl like a dog and prowl around outside the city.

They wander around looking for something to eat; they refuse to sleep until they are full.

As for me, I will sing about your strength; I will praise your loyal love in the morning. For you are my refuge and my place of shelter when I face trouble.

You are my source of strength! I will sing praises to you! For God is my refuge, the God who loves me.
