Psalm 59:15
“Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be not satisfied.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 59Meaning
The image develops the dog metaphor into insatiability: predatory hostility does not produce stable contentment. The verse describes the attackers’ pattern without suggesting that poverty or hunger itself is morally suspect.
Judgment on destructive speech and predation
The psalm asks that arrogant violence be exposed, restrained, and brought low so that God’s rule becomes known, while the enemies’ restless prowling is repeated once more.
Read carefully
The hunger image belongs to the poetic portrayal of specific hostile attackers and must not be generalized to people experiencing material need.
Reflection
Recognize that endless appeasement may not resolve a predatory pattern; establish wise boundaries and seek support.
