Psalms Chapter[BR] 59

1 To the Chief Musician. Do not destroy. A secret treasure of David, when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him. Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; defend me from those who rise up against me.

2 Deliver me from the workers of evil 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 Jehovah.

Psalms Chapter[BR] 59

4 Without my fault they run and prepare themselves; awaken to help me, and look on me.

5 And You, O Jehovah, the God of Hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the nations; do not be merciful to any plotting evil. Selah.

6 They return at evening; they make a noise like a dog, and go around the city.

7 Behold, they bellow out with their mouth; swords are in their lips; for they say, Who hears?

Psalms Chapter[BR] 59

8 But You, O Jehovah, shall laugh at them; You will mock at all the nations.

9 O my Strength, let me look to You, for God is my strong tower.

10 The God of my mercy shall go before me; God shall let me see my desire on my enemies.

11 Do not kill them, lest my people forget; scatter them by Your power and bring them down, O Jehovah our shield.

Psalms Chapter[BR] 59

12 For the sin of their mouth is the word of their lips, even let them be taken in their pride; and for cursing and the lying which they speak.

13 Consume them in wrath; consume, so that they may not be; and let them know that God rules in Jacob to the ends of the earth. Selah.

14 And at evening they shall return; let them howl like a dog, and go around the city.

Psalms Chapter[BR] 59

15 Let them wander up and down for food, and growl if they are not satisfied.

16 But I will sing of Your power; yes, I will sing aloud of Your mercy in the morning; for You have been my strong tower and hiding-place in the day of my trouble.

17 To You, O my strength, I will sing; for God is my strong tower and the God of my mercy.
