Psalm 59

59
A Prayer for Deliverance from Enemies
To the chief Musician, Altas´chith, Michtam of David; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him.#1 Sam 19.11.
1Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God:
defend me from them that rise up against me.
2Deliver me from the workers of iniquity,
and save me from bloody men.
3For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul:
the mighty are gathered against me;
not for my transgression,
nor for my sin, O Lord.
4They run and prepare themselves without my fault.
Awake to help me,#59.4 to help me, Hebrew meet. and behold.
5Thou therefore, O Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel,
awake to visit all the heathen:
be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah.
6They return at evening:
they make a noise 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 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 defense.
10The God of my mercy shall prevent me:
God shall 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,
that they may not be:
and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob
unto the ends of the earth. Selah.
14And at evening let them return;
and let them make a noise like a dog,
and go round about the city.
15Let them wander up and down for meat,
and grudge if they be not satisfied.
16But I will sing of thy power;
yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning:
for thou hast been my defense
and refuge in the day of my trouble.
17Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing:
for God is my defense,
and the God of my mercy.
