Vespers Psalm
From the Psalms of our teacher David the prophet.
May his blessings be with us all.
Psalms 59 : 10 - 17
Chapter 59
| 10 | My God of mercy shall come to meet me; God shall let me see my desire on my enemies.
|
| 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
|
| 14 | And at evening they return, They growl like a dog, And go all around the city.
|
| 15 | They wander up and down for food, And howl if they are not satisfied.
|
| 16 | But I will sing of Your power; Yes, I will sing aloud of Your mercy in the morning; For You have been my defense And refuge in the day of my trouble.
|
| 17 | To You, O my Strength, I will sing praises; For God is my defense, My God of mercy.
|
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Our Lord God, Savior, and King of us all, Jesus Christ, the Living Son of God to whom be glory forever.
Amen.
