Psalm 59

59[To the choirmaster: according to Do Not Destroy. A Miktam of David, when Saul sent men to watch his house in order to kill him.] Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; protect me from those who rise up against me;H5329H516H4387H1732H7586H7971H8104H1004H4191H5337H341H430H7682H69652deliver me from those who work evil, and save me from bloodthirsty men.H5337H6466H205H3467H1818H5823For behold, they lie in wait for my life; fierce men stir up strife against me. For no transgression or sin of mine, O LORD,H693H5315H5794H1481H6588H2403H30684for no fault of mine, they run and make ready. Awake, come to meet me, and see!H7323H3559H5771H5782H7125H72005You, LORD God of hosts, are God of Israel. Rouse yourself to punish all the nations; spare none of those who treacherously plot evil.

For the cursing and lies that they utter,H2403H6310H1697H8193H3920H1347H423H3585H560813consume them in wrath; consume them till they are no more, that they may know that God rules over Jacob to the ends of the earth. SelahH3615H2534H3615H3045H430H4910H3290H657H776H554214Each evening they come back, howling like dogs and prowling about the city.H6153H7725H1993H3611H5437H589215They wander about for food and growl if they do not get their fill.H5128H5128H398H3885H764616But I will sing of your strength; I will sing aloud of your steadfast love in the morning. For you have been to me a fortress and a refuge in the day of my distress.H7891H5797H7442H2617H1242H4869H4498H3117H686217O my Strength, I will sing praises to you, for you, O God, are my fortress, the God who shows me steadfast love.H5797H2167H430H4869H430H2617
