Psalms 59:11

9 I will keep watch for You, O my strength, because You, O God, are my fortress.

10 My God of loving devotion will come to meet me; God will let me stare down my foes.

Do not kill them, or my people will forget. Scatter them by Your power, and bring them down, O Lord, our shield.

12 By the sins of their mouths and the words of their lips, let them be trapped in their pride, in the curses and lies they utter.

13 Consume them in wrath; consume them till they are no more, so it may be known to the ends of the earth that God rules over Jacob. Selah
