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,

13 consume them in your wrath,

consume them till they are no more.

Then it will be known to the ends of the earth

that God rules over Jacob.

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.

13 Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be:

And let them know that God ruleth in Jacob

Unto the ends of the earth. Selah.

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.

13 Destroy them in your anger!

Wipe them out completely!

Then the whole world will know

that God reigns in Israel.

Interlude

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.

13 Consume them in wrath, consume them,

That they may not be;

And let them know that God rules in Jacob

To the ends of the earth.

Selah

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.

13 Destroy them in your anger;

destroy them completely!

Then they will know

that God rules over Israel

and to the ends of the earth.

Selah

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.

13 Consume them in wrath, consume them, so that they shall be no more:

And let them know that God ruleth in Jacob,

Unto the ends of the earth. Selah

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. 13 Make an end in wrath, make an end, that they may be no more; that they may know that God ruleth in Jacob, unto the ends of the earth. Selah.

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. 

13 Destroy them in your rage. 

Destroy them until not one of them is left. 

Then they will know that God rules Jacob 

to the ends of the earth. 

Selah 

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.

13 Consume them in rage;

consume them until they are gone.

Then people will know throughout the earth

that God rules over Jacob. Selah

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,

13 consume them in wrath;

consume them until they are no more.

Then it will be known to the ends of the earth

that God rules over Jacob. Selah

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.

13 Destroy in anger; destroy so they are no more,

so that they may know that God is ruling in Jacob

to the ends of the earth. Selah

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.

13 Burn them up in your anger.

Burn them up until there isn’t anything left of them.

Then everyone from one end of the earth to the other will know

that God rules over the people of Jacob. Selah

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.

13 Destroy them in wrath, destroy them that they may be no more;

That men may know that God rules in Jacob

To the ends of the earth.

Selah.
