PSALMS 59:6 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
Ps 59:5Ps 59:7
They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
The reference to enemies seeking food and growing angry if not satisfied articulates that the enemies' opposition is voracious and never satisfied; like animals, they will consume whatever they can reach. The image of them going around the city suggests that they are ubiquitous and pervasive; the entire environment has been transformed into a hunting ground. The mention of lodging in the city indicates that the enemies have established themselves permanently, suggesting that the persecution is not temporary. This verse emphasizes that the enemies are entrenched and determined.
