Psalms 59:9-17 English Revised Version (ERV)

9. O my strength, I will wait upon thee: for God is my high tower.

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

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

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.

13. Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they be no more: and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob, unto the ends of the earth. Selah

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

15. They shall wander up and down for meat and tarry all night if they be not satisfied.

16. But I will sing of thy strength; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my high tower, and a refuge in the day of my distress.

17. Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing praises: for God is my high tower, the God of my mercy.
