Psalms 59:9-17 Modern English Version (MEV)

9. O my strength, I will wait on You;for God is my refuge.

10. The God of lovingkindness will go before me;God will cause me to look in triumph on my enemies.

11. Do not slay them,lest my people forget;scatter them by Your power,and bring them down, O Lord our shield.

12. For the sin of their mouthand the words of their lips,may they be snared by their pride,and because of curses and lies that they speak.

13. Consume them in wrath,consume them so they no longer exist;and let them know that God rules in Jacobto the ends of the earth. Selah

14. At evening they return,and growl like a dog,and go around the city.

15. They roam about to eat,and if they are not satisfied, they complain.

16. But I will sing of Your power;I will sing aloud of Your lovingkindness in the morning,for You have been my refugeand escape in the day of my trouble.

17. To You, O my strength, I will sing,for God is my refuge, and the God of my lovingkindness.
