Psalm 59
- 1[For the Chief Musician; [set to] Al-tashheth. [A Psalm] of David. Michtam; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him]. Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: Set me on high from them that rise up against me.
- 2Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, And save me from the bloodthirsty men.
- 3For, 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.
- 4They run and prepare themselves without [my] fault: Awake thou to help me, and behold.
- 5Even thou, O Jehovah God of hosts, the God of Israel, Arise to visit all the nations: Be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah
- 6They return at evening, they howl like a dog, And go round about the city.
- 7Behold, they belch out with their mouth; Swords are in their lips: For who, [say they], doth hear?
- 8But thou, O Jehovah, wilt laugh at them; Thou wilt have all the nations in derision.
- 9[Because of] his strength I will give heed unto thee; For God is my high tower.
- 10My God with his lovingkindness will meet me: God will let me see [my desire] upon mine enemies.
- 11Slay 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.
- 13Consume them in wrath, consume them, so that they shall be no more: And let them know that God ruleth in Jacob, Unto the ends of the earth. Selah
- 14And at evening let them return, let them howl like a dog, And go round about the city.
- 15They shall wander up and down for food, And tarry all night if they be not satisfied.
- 16But I will sing of thy strength; Yea, I will sing aloud of thy lovingkindness in the morning: For thou hast been my high tower, And a refuge in the day of my distress.
- 17Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing praises: For God is my high tower, the God of my mercy.
