psalms 59
1 - Deliver me from my enemies, my God.Set me on high from those who rise up against me.
2 - Deliver me from the workers of iniquity.Save me from the bloodthirsty men.
3 - For, behold, they lie in wait for my soul.The mighty gather themselves together against me,not for my disobedience, nor for my sin, The LORD.
4 - I have done no wrong, yet they are ready to attack me.Rise up, behold, and help me!
5 - You, the LORD God of Armies, the God of Israel,rouse yourself to punish the nations.Show no mercy to the wicked traitors.Selah.
6 - They return at evening, howling like dogs,and prowl around the city.
7 - Behold, they spew with their mouth.Swords are in their lips,"For", they say, "who hears us?"
8 - But you, The LORD, laugh at them.You scoff at all the nations.
9 - Oh, my Strength, I watch for you,for God is my high tower.
10 - My God will go before me with his loving kindness.God will let me look at my enemies in triumph.
11 - Don't kill them, or my people may forget.Scatter them by your power, and bring them down, Lord our shield.
12 - For the sin of their mouth, and the words of their lips,let them be caught in their pride,for the curses and lies which they utter.
13 - Consume them in wrath.Consume them, and they will be no more.Let them know that God rules in Jacob,to the ends of the earth.Selah.
14 - At evening let them return.Let them howl like a dog, and go around the city.
15 - They shall wander up and down for food,and wait all night if they aren't satisfied.
16 - But I will sing of your strength.Yes, I will sing aloud of your loving kindness in the morning.For you have been my high tower,a refuge in the day of my distress.
17 - To you, my strength, I will sing praises.For God is my high tower, the God of my mercy.
