Chapter 59

1

 {To the chief Musician. 'Destroy not.' Of David. Michtam; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him.} Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God; secure me on high from them that rise up against me. 


2

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


3

 For behold, they lie in wait for my soul; strong ones are gathered against me: not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O Jehovah. 


4

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


5

 Yea, do thou, Jehovah, the God of hosts, the God of Israel, arise to visit all the nations: be not gracious to any plotters of iniquity. Selah. 


6

 They return in the evening; they howl 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, Jehovah, wilt laugh at them; thou wilt have all the nations in derision. 


9

 Their strength! ... I will take heed to thee; for God is my high fortress. 


10

 God, whose loving-kindness will come to meet me, -- God shall let me see [my desire] upon mine enemies. 


11

 Slay them not, lest my people forget; by thy power make them wander, and bring them down, O Lord, our shield. 


12

 [Because of] the sin of their mouth, the word of their lips, let them even be taken in their pride; and because of cursing and lying which they speak. 


13

 Make an end in wrath, make an end, that they may be no more; that they may know that God ruleth in Jacob, unto the ends of the earth. Selah. 


14

 And in the evening they shall return, they shall howl like a dog, and go round about the city. 


15

 They shall wander about for meat, and stay all night if they be not satisfied. 


16

 But as for me, I will sing of thy strength; yea, I will sing aloud of thy loving-kindness in the morning; for thou hast been to me a high fortress, and a refuge in the day of my trouble. 


17

 Unto thee, my strength, will I sing psalms; for God is my high fortress, the God of my mercy.
