Psalm 59
59:1 Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them that
rise up against me.
59:2 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody
men.
59:3 For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered
against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O LORD.
59:4 They run and prepare themselves without my fault: awake to help
me, and behold.
59:5 Thou therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to
visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors.
Selah.
59:6 They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go
round about the city.
59:7 Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their
lips: for who, say they, doth hear?
59:8 But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the
heathen in derision.
59:9 Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: for God is my
defence.
59:10 The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see my
desire upon mine enemies.
59:11 Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power;
and bring them down, O Lord our shield.
59:12 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.
59:13 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.
59:14 And at evening let them return; and let them make a noise like a
dog, and go round about the city.
59:15 Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be not
satisfied.
59:16 But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy
mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the
day of my trouble.
59:17 Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God is my defence,
and the God of my mercy.
