Strongs On/Off
Context
59:4 Though I have done nothing wrong , they are anxious to attack . Spring into action and help me! Take notice of me!
59:5 You , O Lord God , the invincible warrior , the God of Israel , rouse yourself and punish all the nations ! Have no mercy on any treacherous evildoers ! (Selah )
59:6 They return in the evening ; they growl like a dog and prowl around outside the city .
59:7 Look , they hurl insults at me and openly threaten to kill me , for they say, “Who hears ?”
59:8 But you , O Lord , laugh in disgust at them; you taunt all the nations .
59:9 You are my source of strength ! I will wait for you! For God is my refuge .
59:10 The God who loves me will help me; God will enable me to triumph over my enemies .
59:11 Do not strike them dead suddenly, because then my people might forget the lesson. Use your power to make them homeless vagabonds and then bring them down , O Lord who shields us!
59:12 They speak sinful words . So let them be trapped by their own pride and by the curses and lies they speak !
59:13 Angrily wipe them out ! Wipe them out so they vanish ! Let them know that God rules in Jacob and to the ends of the earth ! (Selah )
59:14 They return in the evening ; they growl like a dog and prowl around outside the city .
59:15 They wander around looking for something to eat ; they refuse to sleep until they are full .
59:16 As for me, I will sing about your strength ; I will praise your loyal love in the morning . For you are my refuge and my place of shelter when I face trouble .
59:17 You are my source of strength ! I will sing praises to you! For God is my refuge , the God who loves me.
