Chapter 59

1


 

  To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him. Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me.  

 

 


2


 

  Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men.  

 

 


3


 

  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.  

 

 


4


 

  They run and prepare themselves without [my] fault: awake to help me, and behold.  

 

 


5


 

  Thou therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah.  

 

 


6


 

  They return at evening: they make a noise 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 LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision.  

 

 


9


 

  [Because of] his strength will I wait upon thee: for God [is] my defence.  

 

 


10


 

  The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see [my desire] upon mine enemies.  

 

 


11


 

  Slay 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.  

 

 


13


 

  Consume [them] in wrath, consume [them], that they [may] not [be]: and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. Selah.  

 

 


14


 

  And at evening let them return; [and] let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.  

 

 


15


 

  Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be not satisfied.  

 

 


16


 

  But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble.  

 

 


17


 

  Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God [is] my defence, [and] the God of my mercy.
