Psalms 59:9-17

1. 9 Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: for God is my defence.

2. 10 The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies.

3. 11 Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield.

4. 12 For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying which they speak.

5. 13 Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be: and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. Selah.

6. 14 And at evening let them return; and let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.

7. 15 Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be not satisfied.

8. 16 But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble.

9. 17 Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God is my defence, and the God of my mercy.
