Tehillim 59:14 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 59:14

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; (See Gill on Psalms 59:6).
