Psalms 59:9

Strength and help in weaknessHopeWaiting on GodGod's faithfulness

7 See what they spew from their mouths— sharp words from their lips: “For who can hear us?”

8 But You, O LORD, laugh at them; You scoff at all the nations.

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.

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

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
