Psalm 59:11-17
New Living Translation
Psalm 59:11-17
New Living Translation
11 Don’t kill them, for my people soon forget such lessons;
stagger them with your power, and bring them to their knees,
O Lord our shield.
12 Because of the sinful things they say,
because of the evil that is on their lips,
let them be captured by their pride,
their curses, and their lies.
13 Destroy them in your anger!
Wipe them out completely!
Then the whole world will know
that God reigns in Israel.[a] Interlude
14 My enemies come out at night,
snarling like vicious dogs
as they prowl the streets.
15 They scavenge for food
but go to sleep unsatisfied.[b]
16 But as for me, I will sing about your power.
Each morning I will sing with joy about your unfailing love.
For you have been my refuge,
a place of safety when I am in distress.
17 O my Strength, to you I sing praises,
for you, O God, are my refuge,
the God who shows me unfailing love.

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)
