Psalm 59:11–12

11 But do not kill them, Lord our shield,

or my people will forget.

In your might uproot them

and bring them down.

12 For the sins of their mouths,

for the words of their lips,

let them be caught in their pride.

For the curses and lies they utter,

11 Slay them not, lest my people forget:

Scatter them by thy power;

And bring them down, O Lord our shield.

12 For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips

Let them even be taken in their pride:

And for cursing and lying which they speak.

11 Don’t kill them, for my people soon forget such lessons;

stagger them with your power, and bring them to their knees,

O Lord our shield.

12 Because of the sinful things they say,

because of the evil that is on their lips,

let them be captured by their pride,

their curses, and their lies.

11 Do not slay them, lest my people forget;

Scatter them by Your power,

And bring them down,

O Lord our shield.

12 For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips,

Let them even be taken in their pride,

And for the cursing and lying which they speak.

11 Lord, our protector, do not kill them, or my people will forget.

With your power scatter them and defeat them.

12 They sin by what they say;

they sin with their words.

They curse and tell lies,

so let their pride trap them.

11 Slay them not, lest my people forget:

Scatter them by thy power, and bring them down,

O Lord our shield.

12 For the sin of their mouth, and the words of their lips,

Let them even be taken in their pride,

And for cursing and lying which they speak.

11 Slay them not, lest my people forget; by thy power make them wander, and bring them down, O Lord, our shield. 12 Because of the sin of their mouth, the word of their lips, let them even be taken in their pride; and because of cursing and lying which they speak.

11 Do not kill them. 

Otherwise, my people may forget. 

Make them wander aimlessly by your power. 

Bring them down, O Lord, our shield, 

12 ⸤because of⸥ the sins from their mouths 

and the words on their lips. 

Let them be trapped by their own arrogance 

because they speak curses and lies. 

11 Do not kill them; otherwise, my people will forget.

By Your power, make them homeless wanderers

and bring them down,

Lord, our shield.

12 For the sin of their mouths and the words of their lips,

let them be caught in their pride.

They utter curses and lies.

11 Do not kill them, or my people may forget;

make them totter by your power and bring them down,

O Lord, our shield.

12 For the sin of their mouths, the words of their lips,

let them be trapped in their pride.

For the cursing and lies that they utter,

11 Do not kill them, lest my people forget.

Make them to wander by your power,

and bring them down, O Lord, our shield.

12 By the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips,

even in their pride, let them be trapped,

and for the curses and lies they proclaim.

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 make my enemies wander around.

Destroy them.

12 They have sinned with their mouths.

Their lips have spoken evil words.

They have called down a curse on me and lied.

Let them be caught in their pride.

11 Do not slay them, or my people will forget;

Scatter them by Your power, and bring them down,

O Lord, our shield.

12 On account of the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips,

Let them even be caught in their pride,

And on account of curses and lies which they utter.
