Psalm 59
1 Deliver
me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them
that rise up against me.
2 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save
me from bloody men.
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.
4 They run and prepare themselves without my fault:
awake to help me, and behold.
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.
6 They return at evening: they make a noise like a
dog, and go round about the city.
7 Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords
are in their lips: for who, say they, doth hear?
8 But thou, O Lord, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt
have all the heathen in derision.
9 Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: for
God is my defence.
10 The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall
let me see my desire upon mine enemies.
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.
14 And at evening let them return; and let them make
a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
15 Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge
if they be not satisfied.
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.
17 Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God is
my defence, and the God of my mercy.
