PS-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.

PS-59:2 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me

from bloody men.

PS-59:3 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.

PS-59:4 They run and prepare themselves without [my] fault:

awake to help me,

and behold.

PS-59:5 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.

PS-59:6 They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog,

and go round

about the city.

PS-59:7 Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords [are] in

their lips:

for who, [say they], doth hear?

PS-59:8 But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have

all the heathen

in derision.

PS-59:9 [Because of] his strength will I wait upon thee: for God

[is] my

defence.

PS-59:10 The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me

see [my

desire] upon mine enemies.

PS-59:11 Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by

thy power; and

bring them down, O Lord our shield.

PS-59:12 [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.

PS-59:13 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.

PS-59:14 And at evening let them return; [and] let them make a

noise like a

dog, and go round about the city.

PS-59:15 Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if

they be not

satisfied.

PS-59:16 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.

PS-59:17 Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God [is] my

defence, [and]

the God of my mercy.
