Psalms 59:1-10

Deliver Me from My Enemies

To the choirmaster: according to ^aDo Not Destroy. A ^bMiktam ^{▼▼Probably a musical or liturgical term} of David, ^dwhen Saul sent men to watch his house in order to kill him.

1 ^eDeliver me from my enemies, O my God;
^fprotect me from those who ^grise up against me;
2 deliver me from ^hthose who work evil,
and save me from ⁱbloodthirsty men.
3 For behold, they ^jlie in wait for my life;
fierce men ^kstir up strife against me.
^lFor no transgression or sin of mine, O Lord,
4 for no fault of mine, they run and make ready.
^mAwake, come to meet me, and see!
5 You, ⁿLord God of hosts, are God of Israel.
Rouse yourself to punish all the nations;
spare none of those who treacherously plot evil. Selah
6 Each evening they ^ocome back,
howling like dogs
and prowling about the city.
7 There they are, ^pbellowing with their mouths
with ^qswords in their lips—
for ^r“Who,” they think, ^{▼▼Hebrew lacks they think} “will hear us?”
8 But you, O Lord, ^tlaugh at them;
you hold all the nations in derision.
9 O my Strength, I will watch for you,
for you, O God, are ^umy fortress.
10 ^vMy God in his steadfast love ^{▼▼Or The God who shows me steadfast love} ^xwill meet me;
God will let me ^ylook in triumph on my enemies.
