Psalms 59:9-17 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

9. Because of your strength will I wait upon you: for God is my defense.

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

11. Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by your 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 the cursing and lying which they speak.

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

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

15. Let them wander up and down for food, and growl if they are not satisfied.

16. But I will sing of your power; yea, 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. Unto you, O my Strength, will I sing: for God is my defense, and the God of my mercy.
