Psalms 59:9

⁷ See what they spew from their mouths— sharp words from their lips: “For who can hear us?”

⁸ But You, O LORD, laugh at them; You scoff at all the nations.

I will keep watch for You, O my strength, because You, O God, are my fortress.

¹⁰ My God of loving devotion will come to meet me; God will let me stare down my foes.

¹¹ Do not kill them, or my people will forget. Scatter them by Your power, and bring them down, O Lord, our shield.
