Psalms 59:12 Context
10The God of my mercy shall preuent me; God shall let mee see my desire vpon mine enemies. 11Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power; and bring them downe, O Lord our shield. 12For the sinne of their mouth, and the words of their lips, let them euen be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying which they speake. 13Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be: and let them know that God ruleth in Iacob, vnto the ends of the earth. Selah. 14And at euening let them returne, and let them make a noise like a dogge, and goe round about the citie.
