Psalm 59:11-17
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
11 my loving God.
II
May God go before me,
and show me my fallen foes.
12 Slay them, God,
lest they deceive my people.
Shake them by your power;
Lord, our shield, bring them down.
13 For the sinful words of their mouths and lips
let them be caught in their pride.
For the lies they have told under oath(A)
14 destroy them in anger,
destroy till they are no more.
Then people will know God rules over Jacob,
yes, even to the ends of the earth.(B)
Selah
15 Each evening they return,
growling like dogs, prowling the city.
16 They roam about as scavengers;
if they are not filled, they howl.
III
17 But I shall sing of your strength,
extol your mercy at dawn,
For you are my fortress,
my refuge in time of trouble.
Psalm 59:11-17
New International Version
11 But do not kill them, Lord our shield,[a](A)
or my people will forget.(B)
In your might uproot them
and bring them down.(C)
12 For the sins of their mouths,(D)
for the words of their lips,(E)
let them be caught in their pride.(F)
For the curses and lies they utter,
13 consume them in your wrath,
consume them till they are no more.(G)
Then it will be known to the ends of the earth
that God rules over Jacob.(H)
14 They return at evening,
snarling like dogs,
and prowl about the city.
15 They wander about for food(I)
and howl if not satisfied.
16 But I will sing(J) of your strength,(K)
in the morning(L) I will sing of your love;(M)
for you are my fortress,(N)
my refuge in times of trouble.(O)
17 You are my strength, I sing praise to you;
you, God, are my fortress,
my God on whom I can rely.(P)
