for the curses and lies which they utter.

THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE

Psalms 59:12 in context

Psalms 59:9–15

Oh, my Strength, I watch for you,

for God is my high tower.

My God will go before me with his loving kindness.

God will let me look at my enemies in triumph.

Don’t kill them, or my people may forget.

Scatter them by your power, and bring them down, Lord our shield.

Selected verse

For the sin of their mouth, and the words of their lips,

let them be caught in their pride,

for the curses and lies which they utter.

Consume them in wrath.

Consume them, and they will be no more.

Let them know that God rules in Jacob,

to the ends of the earth. Selah.

At evening let them return.

Let them howl like a dog, and go around the city.

They shall wander up and down for food,

and wait all night if they aren’t satisfied.
