Psalms 59:9 Context
7Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lippes; for who, say they, doeth heare? 8But thou, O Lord, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt haue all the heathen in derision. 9Because of his strength will I wait vpon thee: for God is my defence. 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.
