Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, doth hear?

Verse 7 is found in chapter 59 of Psalms. Psalm 59 describes a persecution in which enemies watch the psalmist’s house and wait for his downfall. The prayer asks God not only to protect him, but to make his rule visible among the nations. Images of dogs roaming the city emphasize the constant threat. Against them, the psalmist repeatedly declares that God is his strength and refuge, transforming danger into a permanent reason for song.

Des Abends heulen sie wiederum wie die Hunde und laufen in der Stadt umher.
He aquí proferirán con su boca; Cuchillos están en sus labios, Porque dicen: ¿Quién oye?
Mira lo que brota de sus bocas; hay espadas en sus labios, porque dicen: «¿Quién oye?».
Voici, de leur bouche ils font jaillir le mal, Des glaives sont sur leurs lèvres; Car, qui est-ce qui entend?
Ecco, sgorgano parole colla lor bocca; Hanno de’ coltelli nelle lor labbra; perciocchè dicono: Chi ci ode?
Eis que eles dão gritos com as suas bocas; espadas estão nos seus lábios, porque, dizem eles: Quem ouve?
看哪,他們口中噴吐惡言, 嘴裏有刀: 「有誰聽見呢?」
