Psalms 59:6-17
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 59
6
They return at evening, they howl like a dog,
And prowl around the city.
7
Behold, they gush forth with their mouths;
Swords are in their lips,
For,
they say,
'Who hears?'
8
But You,
Lord
, laugh at them;
You scoff at all the nations.
9
Because of
his strength I will watch for You,
For God is my refuge.
10
My God in His faithfulness will meet me;
God will let me look
triumphantly
upon my enemies.
11
Do not kill them, or my people will forget;
Scatter them by Your power and bring them down,
Lord, our shield.
12
On 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.
13
Destroy
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.
Selah
14
They return at evening, they howl like a dog,
And prowl around the city.
15
They wander about for food
And murmur if they are not satisfied.
16
But 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.
17
My strength, I will sing praises to You;
For God is my refuge, the God who shows me favor.
King James Version
Chapter 59
6
They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
7
Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, doth hear?
8
But thou, O
Lord
, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision.
9
Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: for God is my defence.
10
The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies.
11
Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield.
12
For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying which they speak.
13
Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be: and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. Selah.
14
And at evening let them return; and let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
15
Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be not satisfied.
16
But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble.
17
Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God is my defence, and the God of my mercy.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 59
6
They return at evening, snarling like dogs
and prowling around the city.
7
Look, they spew from their mouths—
sharp words from their lips.
"For who," they say, "will hear?"
8
But you laugh at them,
Lord
;
you ridicule all the nations.
9
I will keep watch for you, my strength,
because God is my stronghold.
10
My faithful God will come to meet me;
God will let me look down on my adversaries.
11
Do not kill them; otherwise, my people will forget.
By your power, make them homeless wanderers
and bring them down,
Lord, our shield.
12
For the sin of their mouths and the words of their lips,
let them be caught in their pride.
They utter curses and lies.
13
Consume them in rage;
consume them until they are gone.
Then people will know throughout the earth
that God rules over Jacob.
Selah
14
And they return at evening, snarling like dogs
and prowling around the city.
15
They scavenge for food;
they growl if they are not satisfied.
16
But I will sing of your strength
and will joyfully proclaim
your faithful love in the morning.
For you have been a stronghold for me,
a refuge in my day of trouble.
17
To you, my strength, I sing praises,
because God is my stronghold—
my faithful God.
New Living Translation
Chapter 59
6
They come out at night,
snarling like vicious dogs
as they prowl the streets.
7
Listen to the filth that comes from their mouths;
their words cut like swords.
'After all, who can hear us?' they sneer.
8
But
Lord
, you laugh at them.
You scoff at all the hostile nations.
9
You are my strength; I wait for you to rescue me,
for you, O God, are my fortress.
10
In his unfailing love, my God will stand with me.
He will let me look down in triumph on all my enemies.
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.
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.
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.
English Standard Version
Chapter 59
6
Each evening they come back,
howling like dogs
and prowling about the city.
7
There they are, bellowing with their mouths
with swords in their lips —
for "Who," they think, "will hear us?"
8
But you, O
Lord
, laugh at them;
you hold all the nations in derision.
9
O my Strength, I will watch for you,
for you, O God, are my fortress.
10
My God in his steadfast love will meet me;
God will let me look in triumph on my enemies.
11
Kill them not, lest my people forget;
make them totter by your power and bring them down,
O Lord, our shield!
12
For the sin of their mouths, the words of their lips,
let them be trapped in their pride.
For the cursing and lies that they utter,
13
consume them in wrath;
consume them till they are no more,
that they may know that God rules over Jacob
to the ends of the earth.
Selah
14
Each evening they come back,
howling like dogs
and prowling about the city.
15
They wander about for food
and growl if they do not get their fill.
16
But I will sing of your strength;
I will sing aloud of your steadfast love in the morning.
For you have been to me a fortress
and a refuge in the day of my distress.
17
O my Strength, I will sing praises to you,
for you, O God, are my fortress,
the God who shows me steadfast love.
New International Version
Chapter 59
6
They return at evening,
snarling like dogs,
and prowl about the city.
7
See what they spew from their mouths—
the words from their lips are sharp as swords,
and they think, "Who can hear us?"
8
But you laugh at them,
Lord
;
you scoff at all those nations.
9
You are my strength, I watch for you;
you, God, are my fortress,
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,
or my people will forget.
In your might uproot them
and bring them down.
12
For the sins of their mouths,
for the words of their lips,
let them be caught in their pride.
For the curses and lies they utter,
13
consume them in your wrath,
consume them till they are no more.
Then it will be known to the ends of the earth
that God rules over Jacob.
14
They return at evening,
snarling like dogs,
and prowl about the city.
15
They wander about for food
and howl if not satisfied.
16
But I will sing of your strength,
in the morning I will sing of your love;
for you are my fortress,
my refuge in times of trouble.
17
You are my strength, I sing praise to you;
you, God, are my fortress,
my God on whom I can rely.
New King James Version
Chapter 59
6
At evening they return,
They growl like a dog,
And go all around the city.
7
Indeed, they belch with their mouth;
Swords
are
in their lips;
For
they say,
“Who hears?”
8
But You, O
Lord
, shall laugh at them;
You shall have all the nations in derision.
9
I will wait for You, O You his Strength;
For God
is
my defense.
10
My God of mercy shall come to meet me;
God shall let me see
my desire
on my enemies.
11
Do not slay them, lest my people forget;
Scatter them by Your power,
And bring them down,
O Lord our shield.
12
For
the sin of their mouth
and
the words of their lips,
Let them even be taken in their pride,
And for the cursing and lying
which
they speak.
13
Consume
them
in wrath, consume
them,
That they
may
not
be;
And let them know that God rules in Jacob
To the ends of the earth.
Selah
14
And at evening they return,
They growl like a dog,
And go all around the city.
15
They wander up and down for food,
And howl if they are not satisfied.
16
But I will sing of Your power;
Yes, I will sing aloud of Your mercy in the morning;
For You have been my defense
And refuge in the day of my trouble.
17
To You, O my Strength, I will sing praises;
For God
is
my defense,
My God of mercy.
