Psalm 59:10-12

New International Reader's Version

God will march out in front of me.
    He will let me look down on those who tell lies about me.
¹¹ Lord, you are like a shield that keeps us safe.
    Don’t kill my enemies all at once.
    If you do, my people will forget about it.
Use your power to pull my enemies up by the roots like weeds.
    Destroy them.
¹² They have sinned with their mouths.
    Their lips have spoken evil words.
They have cursed me and lied.
    Let them be caught in their pride.
