Psalm 59:11-17

New King James Version

¹¹ Do not slay them, lest my people forget;
Scatter them by Your power,
And bring them down,
O Lord our shield.
^12 (A)For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips,
Let them even be taken in their pride,
And for the cursing and lying which they speak.
^13 (B)Consume them in wrath, consume them,
That they may not be;
And ^(C)let them know that God rules in Jacob
To the ends of the earth. Selah

¹⁴ And ^(D)at evening they return,
They growl like a dog,
And go all around the city.
¹⁵ They ^(E)wander up and down for food,
And ^[a]howl if they are not satisfied.

¹⁶ But I will sing of Your power;
Yes, I will sing aloud of Your mercy in the morning;
For You have been my defense
And refuge in the day of my trouble.
¹⁷ To You, ^(F)O my Strength, I will sing praises;
For God is my defense,
My God of mercy.
