Psalms 59

1 For the end. Destroy not: by David for a memorial, when Saul sent, and watched his houseto kill him. Deliver me from mine enemies, O God; and ransom me from those that rise up against me.
2 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men.
3 For, behold, they have hunted after my soul; violent men have set upon me: neitheris it my iniquity, nor my sin, O Lord.
4 Without iniquity I ran and directedmy course aright: awake to help me, and behold.
5 And you, Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel, draw near to visit all the heathen;pity not any that work iniquity. Pause.
6 They shall return at evening, and hunger like a dog, and go round about the city.
7 Behold, they shall utter a voice with their mouth, and a sword is in their lips;for who,say they, has heard?
8 But you, Lord, will laugh them to scorn; you will utterly set at nothing all theheathen.
9 will keep my strength,looking to you; for you, O God, are my helper.
10 As for my God, his mercy shall go before me: my God will show mevengeance on mine enemies.
11 Slay them not, lest they forget your law; scatter them by your power; and bringthem down, O Lord, my defender.
12 For the sin of their mouth,and the word of their lips, let them be even taken in their pride.
13 And fortheir cursing and falsehood shall utter destruction be denounced:they shall fall by the wrath of utter destruction, and shall not be; so shall they know thatthe God of Jacob is Lord of the ends of the earth. Pause.
14 They shall return at evening, and be hungry as a dog, and go round about the city.
15 They shall be scattered hither and there for meat; and if they be not satisfied,they shall even murmur.
16 But I will sing to your strength, and in the morning will I exultin your mercy; for you have been my supporter, and my refuge in the day of mine affliction.
17 You are my helper; to you, my God, will I sing; you are my supporter, O my God,and my mercy.
