Psalm 59
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.
9 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.
