(59-15) Pada waktu senja mereka datang kembali, mereka melolong seperti anjing dan mengelilingi kota.
Hanguskanlah mereka itu dengan nyala murka-Mu; habiskanlah mereka itu sehingga mereka itu tiada lagi, supaya diketahuinya bahwa Allah itulah yang dipertuhan dalam Yakub dan sampai kepada segala ujung bumipun. -- Selah.

at evening: Psalms 59:6, Psalms 22:16
Reciprocal: Psalms 55:10 - Day
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And at evening let them return; [and] let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city. What in Psalms 59:6 is related as matter of fact, is here expressed by way of imprecation; and what is there taken notice of as their sin, is here wished for at their punishment; unless it can be thought that this should refer to the conversion and return of the Jews in the evening of the world, and to their humiliation and mourning for piercing Christ, and to their very distressed and uncomfortable condition they will be in, until they have satisfaction that their sins are forgiven them; Psalms 59:6- :.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
And at evening let them return - See the notes at Psalms 59:6. The original here is the same as in Psalms 59:6, with the exception of the word “and” at the beginning. This qualifies the sentence, and makes the construction in our version proper. The language is that of confident triumph. They came around the city to take David; they shouted and shrieked as dogs bark and howl when they come upon their prey. David asked God to interpose and save him; and then, says he, let them come if they will, and howl around the city; they will find no prey; they will be like hungry dogs from whom their anticipated victim has escaped. Let them come, and howl and rage. They can do no harm. They will meet with disappointment; and such disappointment will be a proper punishment for their sins.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Psalms 59:14. At evening let them return — He had mentioned before, Psalms 59:6, that these persons came like beasts of prey round the city striving to get in, that they might take possession. Now, being fully assured of God's protection, and that they shall soon be made a public example, he says, Let them return and make a noise like a dog, c., like dogs, jackals, and other famished creatures, who come howling about the city-walls for something to eat, and wander up and down for meat, grumbling because they are not satisfied, Psalms 59:15. Nehemiah had made up all the breaches and had the city guarded so well day and night, by watches who continually relieved each other, that there was no longer any fear of being taken by surprise: and now they must feel like the hungry beasts who were disappointed of their prey.
