Psalms 59 : 1 - 17
Chapter 59
1 | Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; Defend me from those who rise up against me.
|
2 | Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, And save me from bloodthirsty men.
|
3 | For look, they lie in wait for my life; The mighty gather against me, Not for my transgression nor for my sin, O LORD.
|
4 | They run and prepare themselves through no fault of mine. Awake to help me, and behold!
|
5 | You therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, Awake to punish all the nations; Do not be merciful to any wicked transgressors.Selah
|
6 | At evening they return, They growl like a dog, And go all around the city.
|
7 | Indeed, they belch with their mouth; Swords are in their lips; For they say, "Who hears?"
|
8 | But You, O LORD, shall laugh at them; You shall have all the nations in derision.
|
9 | I will wait for You, O You his Strength; For God is my defense.
|
10 | My God of mercy shall come to meet me; God shall let me see my desire on my enemies.
|
11 | Do not slay them, lest my people forget; Scatter them by Your 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 the cursing and lying which they speak.
|
13 | Consume them in wrath, consume them, 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 return, They growl like a dog, And go all around the city.
|
15 | They wander up and down for food, And howl 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 defense And refuge in the day of my trouble.
|
17 | To You, O my Strength, I will sing praises; For God is my defense, My God of mercy.
