098) (2)

(2) 10 God of my mercy manifold with good shall prevent me: and my desire upon my foes the Lord will let me see.

11 Slay them not, lest my folk forget: but scatter them abroad by thy strong-power; and bring them down, who art our shield o God.

12 For their mouths sin, and their lips words, and in their pride them take: and for their cursing, and lying which in their speech they make.

13 Consume in wrath, consume and let them be no more; that they may know that God in Jacob rules, to th’ ends of th’ earth. Selah.

14 And at ev’ning let them return, and like dogs a noise make; and so about the city round a compass let them take.

15 And let them wander up and down seeking what they may eat, and if they be not satisfied, then let them grudge thereat,

16 But I will sing thy power; and shout i’th morning thy kindness: for thou my tower and refuge art in day of my distress.

17 Thou art my strength, and unto thee, sing psalms of praise will I: for God is mine high tower, he is the God of my mercy.
