Previous Chapter Previous Verse Full Chapter Next Verse Next Chapter
12 Put them not to death, for so my people will keep the memory of them: let them be sent in all directions by your power; make them low, O Lord our saviour.
13 Because of the sin of their mouths and the word of their lips, let them even be taken in their pride; and for their curses and their deceit,
14 Put an end to them in your wrath, put an end to them, so that they may not be seen again; let them see that God is ruling in Jacob and to the ends of the earth. (Selah.)
15 And in the evening let them come back, and make a noise like a dog, and go round the town.
16 Let them go wandering up and down in search of food, and be there all night if they have not enough.
17 But I will make songs of your power; yes, I will give cries of joy for your mercy in the morning; because you have been my strength and my high tower in the day of my trouble.
18 To you, O my strength, will I make my song: because God is my high tower, even the God of my mercy.
