Psalms 59:11-17

11Do not slay them, 1or my people will forget; 2 3Scatter them by Your power, and bring them down, O Lord, 4our shield.12 5On account of the 6sin of their mouth and the words of their lips, Let them even be 7caught in their pride, And on account of 8curses and 9lies which they utter.13 10 11Destroy them in wrath, 12destroy them that they may be no more; That men may 13know that God 14rules in Jacob To the ends of the earth. Selah.14They 15return at evening, they howl like a dog, And go around the city.15They 16wander about 17for food And 18growl if they are not satisfied.

16But as for me, I shall 19sing of Your strength; Yes, I shall 20joyfully sing of Your lovingkindness in the 21morning, For You have been my 22stronghold And a 23refuge in the day of my distress.17 24O my strength, I will sing praises to You; For God is my 25stronghold, the 26God who shows me lovingkindness.
