Psalms 59:9 in Context — Psalms 59

7 Ils reviennent chaque soir, ils hurlent comme des chiens, Ils font le tour de la ville.

8 Voici, de leur bouche ils font jaillir le mal, Des glaives sont sur leurs lèvres; Car, qui est-ce qui entend?

9 Et toi, Éternel, tu te ris d’eux, Tu te moques de toutes les nations.

10 Quelle que soit leur force, c’est en toi que j’espère, Car Dieu est ma haute retraite.

11 Mon Dieu vient au-devant de moi dans sa bonté, Dieu me fait contempler avec joie ceux qui me persécutent.
