They return at evening, howling like dogs,
and prowl around the city.
THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE
Psalms 59:6 in context
Psalms 59:3–9
3
For, behold, they lie in wait for my soul.
The mighty gather themselves together against me,
not for my disobedience, nor for my sin, LORD.
4
I have done no wrong, yet they are ready to attack me.
Rise up, behold, and help me!
5
You, LORD God of Armies, the God of Israel,
rouse yourself to punish the nations.
Show no mercy to the wicked traitors. Selah.
6
Selected verse
They return at evening, howling like dogs,
and prowl around the city.

Behold, they spew with their mouth.
Swords are in their lips,
“For”, they say, “who hears us?”
8
But you, LORD, laugh at them.
You scoff at all the nations.
9
Oh, my Strength, I watch for you,
for God is my high tower.
