Contemporary English Version
Psalm 59:11-13
Contemporary English Version
11 Don't kill them,
or everyone may forget!
Just use your mighty power
to make them tremble
and fall.
You are a shield
for your people.
12 My enemies are liars!
So let them be trapped
by their boastful lies.
13 Get angry and destroy them.
Leave them in ruin.
Then all the nations will know
that you rule in Israel.
Psalm 59:11-13

Psalm 59:11-13
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)
