Psalm 59

Psalm 59:1-17

59
Chapter 59
For the chief musician. Do not destroy. A michtam. Of David. When Saul sent men, and they watched the house to kill him. 1 Deliver me from my enemies, my God. From those rising up against me, set me on high. 2 Deliver me from the workers of On and from the men of bloods; save me. 3 For behold, they lie in wait for my soul. They stir up mighty ones against me—not for my transgression or my sin, O LORD. 4 They run and prepare without iniquity. Awake to meet me and see. 5 And you, LORD God of hosts, God of Israel, awake to punish all the nations; do not favor all the treacherous of iniquity. Selah. 6 They will return in the evening; they growl like a dog and circle the city. 7 Behold, they pour out swords in their mouths; in their lips, "for who hears?" 8 But you, LORD, laugh at them; you mock all the nations. 9 I will watch for strength for you, for God is my stronghold. 10 My God of lovingkindness will meet me; God will watch my enemies. 11 Do not kill them, lest my people forget. Make them wander in your strength and bring them down, our shield, Lord. 12 The sin of their mouth, the word of their lips—let them be caught in their pride, for they recount curses and lies. 13 Consume them in wrath; consume them so that they be no more. Let them know that God rules in Jacob to the ends of the land. Selah. 14 And they return in the evening. They growl like dogs and circle the city. Consume them in wrath; consume them so that they have no knowledge, for God rules in Jacob to the ends of the earth. Selah. 15 And they return in the evening. They roar like dogs and prowl about the city. If they are not satisfied, they howl. 16 But I will sing of your strength and will make music to your lovingkindness in the morning, for you have been a stronghold to me and a refuge in the day of my distress. 17 But I will sing of your strength and sing for joy in the morning of your steadfast love, for God is my stronghold, the God of my steadfast love.
