Psalms 59:8-17

Read this passage and open each verse for the full verse feed and commentary tools.

8But You, Lord, laugh at them;

You scoff at all the nations.

9Because of his strength I will watch for You,

For God is my refuge.

10My God in His faithfulness will meet me;

God will let me look triumphantly upon my enemies.

11Do not kill them, or my people will forget;

Scatter them by Your power and bring them down,

Lord, our shield.

12On account of the sin of their mouths and the words of their lips,

May they even be caught in their pride,

And on account of curses and lies which they tell.

13Destroy them in wrath, destroy them so that they will no longer exist;

So that people may know that God rules in Jacob,

To the ends of the earth.

14They return at evening, they howl like a dog,

And prowl around the city.

15They wander about for food

And murmur if they are not satisfied.

16But as for me, I will sing of Your strength;

Yes, I will joyfully sing of Your faithfulness in the morning,

For You have been my refuge

And a place of refuge on the day of my distress.

17My strength, I will sing praises to You;

For God is my refuge, the God who shows me favor.
