Psalm 59:10-13
The Message
Psalm 59:10-13
The Message
8-10 But you, God, break out laughing;
you treat the godless nations like jokes.
Strong God, I’m watching you do it,
I can always count on you.
God in dependable love shows up on time,
shows me my enemies in ruin.
11-13 Don’t make quick work of them, God,
lest my people forget.
Bring them down in slow motion,
take them apart piece by piece.
Let all their mean-mouthed arrogance
catch up with them,
Catch them out and bring them down
—every muttered curse
—every barefaced lie.
Finish them off in fine style!
Finish them off for good!
Then all the world will see
that God rules well in Jacob,
everywhere that God’s in charge.
Psalm 59:10-12

10 my God on whom I can rely.
God will go before me
and will let me gloat over those who slander me.
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,
