Psalms 59

Psalm 59 KJV

1David in great danger prayeth to be saved from his enemies: 6he complaineth of their cruelty: 8he trusteth in God: 11he prayeth for the destruction of his enemies: 16he promiseth to praise God continually.
To the chief Musician, Al-taschith, aMichtam of David; 1when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him.
1 Deliver 1me from mine enemies, O my God: adefend me from them that rise up against me.
2 Deliver me from the 1workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men.
3 For, lo, 1they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; 2not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O Lord.
4 They 1run and prepare themselves without my fault: 2awake ato help me, and behold.
5 Thou therefore, 1O Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the 2heathen: 3be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah.
6 They 1return at evening: 2they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
7 Behold, 1they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips: for 2who, say they, doth hear?
8 But thou, O Lord, shalt 1laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision.
9 because of 1his strength will I wait upon thee: for God is amy defence.
10 The 1God of my mercy shall prevent me: 2God shall let me see my desire upon amine enemies.
11 Slay 1them not, lest my people forget: 2scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield.
12 for 1the 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 1Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be: and 2let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. Selah.
14 And 1at 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 afor meat, and bgrudge if they be not satisfied.
16 But 1I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for 2thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble.
17 Unto 1thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God is my defence, and the God of my mercy.
