“Don't kill them, or my people may forget. Scatter them by your power, and bring them down, Lord our shield.”

Verse in context — Psalms 59

Oh, my Strength, I watch for you, for God is my high tower.

My God will go before me with his loving kindness. God will let me look at my enemies in triumph.

Don't kill them, or my people may forget. Scatter them by your power, and bring them down, Lord our shield.

For the sin of their mouth, and the words of their lips, let them be caught in their pride, for the curses and lies which they utter.

Consume them in wrath. Consume them, and they will be no more. Let them know that God rules in Jacob, to the ends of the earth. Selah.
