Psalms 59:7-8
Psalms 59:6-10 The Message (MSG)
They return when the sun goes down, They howl like coyotes, ringing the city. Then suddenly they’re all at the gate, Snarling invective, drawn daggers in their teeth. They think they’ll never get caught. But you, GOD, break out laughing; you treat the godless nations like jokes. Strong God, I’m watching you do it, I can always count on you. God in dependable love shows up on time, shows me my enemies in ruin.
Psalms 59:7-8 King James Version (KJV)
Behold, they belch out with their mouth: Swords are in their lips: For who, say they, doth hear? But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; Thou shalt have all the heathen in derision.

Look how they belch out [insults] with their mouths; Swords [of sarcasm, ridicule, slander, and lies] are in their lips, For they say, “Who hears us?” But You, O LORD, will laugh at them [in scorn]; You scoff at and deride all the nations.
