Psalms 59:7-17

⁷Lo! they shall speak in their mouth, and a sword in their lips; for who heard?

⁸And thou, Lord, shalt scorn them; thou shalt bring all folks to nought.

⁹I shall keep my strength to thee; for God is mine up-taker,

¹⁰my God, his mercy shall come before me. God showed to me my desire on mine enemies,

¹¹slay thou not them; lest any time my peoples forget. Scatter thou them in thy virtue; and, Lord, my defender, put thou them down.

¹²Put down the trespass of their mouth, and the word of their lips; and be they taken in their pride. And of cursing and of leasing; they shall be showed in the ending.

¹³In the ire of ending, and they shall not be; and they shall know, that the Lord shall be Lord of Jacob, and of the ends of earth.

¹⁴They shall be turned at eventide, and they as dogs shall suffer hunger; and they shall compass, that is, go abegging in, the city.

¹⁵They shall be scattered abroad, for to eat; soothly if they be not ful filled, and they shall grutch.

¹⁶But I shall sing of thy strength; and early I shall enhance thy mercy. For thou art made mine up-taker; and my refuge, in the day of my tribulation.

¹⁷Mine helper, I shall sing to thee; for thou art God, mine up-taker, my God, my mercy.
