Psalms 59:1-10
1
Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: Set me on high from them that rise up against me.
2
Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, And save me from the bloodthirsty men.
3
For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul; The mighty gather themselves together against me: Not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O Jehovah.
4
They run and prepare themselves without my fault: Awake thou to help me, and behold.
5
Even thou, O Jehovah God of hosts, the God of Israel, Arise to visit all the nations: Be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. [Selah
6
They return at evening, they howl 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 Jehovah, wilt laugh at them; Thou wilt have all the nations in derision.
9
Because ofhis strength I will give heed unto thee; For God is my high tower.
10
My God with his lovingkindness will meet me: God will let me see my desire upon mine enemies.
