A Cry for Deliverance from Treacherous Enemies

Psalms 59:1-5

Unto the end, for them that shall be changed, for the inscription of a title, to David himself, for doctrine,

When he set fire to Mesopotamia of Syria and Sobal: and Joab returned and slew of Edom, in the vale of the saltpits, twelve thousand men.

O God, thou hast cast us off, and hast destroyed us; thou hast been angry, and hast had mercy on us.

Thou hast moved the earth, and hast troubled it: heal thou the breaches thereof, for it has been moved.

Thou hast shewn thy people hard things; thou hast made us drink the wine of sorrow.
