Psalms 59:3

Next

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.

For, lo, they lie in wait {H693}{H8804)} for my soul {H5315}: the mighty {H5794} are gathered {H1481}{H8799)} against me; not for my transgression {H6588}, nor for my sin {H2403}, O LORD {H3068}.

For there they are, lying in wait to kill me. Openly they gather themselves against me, and not because I committed a crime or sinned, ADONAI.

See how they lie in wait for me. Fierce men conspire against me for no transgression or sin of my own, O LORD.

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.
