Psalms 58
58
PSALM 58.
1Unto the end, destroy not, for David for an inscription of It title, when Saul sent and watched his house to kill him#1 Kings 19..
2Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; and defend me from them that rise up against me.
3Deliver me from them that work iniquity, and save me from bloody men.
4For behold they have caught my soul: the mighty have rushed in upon me:
5Neither is it my iniquity, nor my sin, O Lord: without iniquity have I run, and directed my steps.
6Rise up thou to meet me, and behold: even thou, O Lord, the God of hosts, the God of Israel. Attend to visit all the nations: have no mercy on all them that work iniquity.
7They shall return at evening, and shall suffer hunger like dogs: and shall go round about the city.
8Behold they shall speak with their mouth, and a sword is in their lips: for who, say they, hath heard us?
9But thou, O Lord, shalt laugh at them: thou shalt bring all the nations to nothing.
10I will keep my strength to thee: for thou art my protector:
11my God, his mercy shall prevent me.
12God shall let me see over my enemies: slay them not, lest at any time my people forget. Scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Lord, my protector:
13For the sin of their mouth, and the word of their lips: and let them be taken in their pride. And for their cursing and lying they shall be talked of,
14when they are consumed: when they are consumed by thy wrath, and they shall be no more. And they shall know that God will rule Jacob, and all the ends of the earth.
15They shall return at evening and shall suffer hunger like dogs: and shall go round about the city.
16They shall be scattered abroad to eat, and shall murmur if they be not filled.
17But I will sing thy strength: and will extol thy mercy in the morning. For thou art become my support, and my refuge, in the day of my trouble.
18Unto thee, O my helper, will I sing, for thou art God my defence: my God my mercy.

Psalm 58
58
1 Unto the end. May you not destroy. Of David, with the inscription of a title, when Saul sent and watched his house, in order to execute him.
2 Rescue me from my enemies, my God, and free me from those who rise up against me.
3 Rescue me from those who work iniquity, and save me from men of blood.
4 For behold, they have seized my soul. The strong have rushed upon me.
5 And it is neither my iniquity, nor my sin, O Lord. I have run and gone directly, without iniquity.
6 Rise up to meet me, and see: even you, O Lord, the God of hosts, the God of Israel. Reach out to visit all nations. Do not take pity on all those who work iniquity.
7 They will return toward evening, and they will suffer hunger like dogs, and they will wander around the city.
8 Behold, they will speak with their mouth, and a sword is in their lips: "For who has heard us?"
9 And you, O Lord, will laugh at them. You will lead all the Gentiles to nothing.
10 I will guard my strength toward you, for you are God, my supporter.
11 My God, his mercy will precede me.
12 God will oversee my enemies for me. Do not slay them, lest at times my people may forget them. Scatter them by your virtue. And depose them, O Lord, my protector,
13 by the offense of their mouth and by the speech of their lips. And may they be caught in their arrogance. And, for their cursing and lying, they will be made known
14 at the consummation, in the fury of the consummation, and so they will be no more. And they will know that God will rule over Jacob, even to the ends of the earth.
15 They will return toward evening, and they will suffer hunger like dogs, and they will wander around the city.
16 They will be dispersed in order to gnaw, and truly, when they will not have been satisfied, they will murmur.
17 But I will sing your strength, and I will extol your mercy, in the morning. For you have been my supporter and my refuge in the day of my tribulation.
18 To you, my helper, I will sing psalms. For you are God, my supporter. My God is my mercy.
