­PSA 59:1  Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise

 up against me.

 

­PSA 59:2  Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men.

 

­PSA 59:3  For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered

 against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O LORD.

 

­PSA 59:4  They run and prepare themselves without my fault: awake to help

 me, and behold.

 

­PSA 59:5  Thou therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to

 visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah.

 

­PSA 59:6  They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round

 about the city.

 

­PSA 59:7  Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips:

 for who, say they, doth hear?

 

­PSA 59:8  But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the

 heathen in derision.

 

­PSA 59:9  Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: for God is my defence.

 

­PSA 59:10  The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see my desire

 upon mine enemies.

 

­PSA 59:11  Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power; and

 bring them down, O Lord our shield.

 

­PSA 59:12  For the 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.

 

­PSA 59:13  Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be: and let

 them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. Selah.

 

­PSA 59:14  And at evening let them return; and let them make a noise like a

 dog, and go round about the city.

 

­PSA 59:15  Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be not

 satisfied.

 

­PSA 59:16  But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy

 in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my

 trouble.

 

­PSA 59:17  Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God is my defence, and

 the God of my mercy.
