Psalms 59:10-17
101My God 2in His faithfulness will meet me; God will let me 3look triumphantly upon my enemies.11Do not kill them, 4or my people will forget; 56Scatter them by Your power and bring them down, Lord, 7our shield.128On account of the 9sin of their mouths and the words of their lips, May they even be 10caught in their pride, And on account of 11curses and lies which they tell.131213Destroy them in wrath, 14destroy them so that they will no longer exist; So that people may 15know that God 16rules in Jacob, To the ends of the earth. Selah14They 17return at evening, they howl like a dog, And prowl around the city.15They 18wander about 19for food And 20murmur if they are not satisfied.
16But as for me, I will 21sing of Your strength; Yes, I will 22joyfully sing of Your faithfulness in the 23morning, For You have been my 24refuge And a 25place of refuge on the day of my distress.1726My strength, I will sing praises to You; For God is my 27refuge, the 28God who shows me favor.
