Psalms
Chapter Fifty-Nine
<<To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him.>>
1 ¶ 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.
