Psalm 59:9-11

New International Reader's Version

⁹ You give me strength. I look to you.
God, you are like a fort to me. ¹⁰     You are my God, and I can depend on you.

God will march out in front of me.
    He will let me look down on those who tell lies about me.
¹¹ Lord, you are like a shield that keeps us safe.
    Don’t kill my enemies all at once.
    If you do, my people will forget about it.
Use your power to pull my enemies up by the roots like weeds.
    Destroy them.
