59My God! Rescue me from my enemies, defend me from these mutineers.H5329H516H4387H1732H7586H7971H8104H1004H4191H5337H341H430H7682H6965 2Rescue me from their dirty tricks, save me from their hit men.H5337H6466H205H3467H1818H582 3Desperadoes have ganged up on me, they're hiding in ambush for me. I did nothing to deserve this, GOD,H693H5315H5794H1481H6588H2403H3068 4crossed no one, wronged no one. All the same, they're after me, determined to get me. Wake up and see for yourself!H7323H3559H5771H5782H7125H7200 5You're GOD, God of angel armies, Israel's God! Get on the job and take care of these pagans, don't be soft on these hard cases.H3068H430H6635H430H3478H6974H6485H1471H2603H205H898H5542 6They return when the sun goes down, They howl like coyotes, ringing the city.H7725H6153H1993H3611H5437H5892 7Then suddenly they're all at the gate, Snarling invective, drawn daggers in their teeth. They think they'll never get caught.H5042H6310H2719H8193H8085 8But you, GOD, break out laughing; you treat the godless nations like jokes.H3068H7832H1471H3932 9Strong God, I'm watching you do it, I can always count on you.H5797H8104H430H4869 10God in dependable love shows up on time, shows me my enemies in ruin.H430H2617H6923H430H7200H8324 11Don't make quick work of them, GOD, lest my people forget. Bring them down in slow motion, take them apart piece by piece.H2026H5971H7911H5128H2428H3381H136H4043 12Let all their mean-mouthed arrogance catch up with them, Catch them out and bring them down —every muttered curse —every barefaced lie.H2403H6310H1697H8193H3920H1347H423H3585H5608 13Finish them off in fine style! Finish them off for good! Then all the world will see that God rules well in Jacob, everywhere that God's in charge.H3615H2534H3615H3045H430H4910H3290H657H776H5542 14They return when the sun goes down, They howl like coyotes, ringing the city.H6153H7725H1993H3611H5437H5892 15They scavenge for bones, And bite the hand that feeds them.H5128H5128H398H3885H7646 16And me? I'm singing your prowess, shouting at cockcrow your largesse, For you've been a safe place for me, a good place to hide.H7891H5797H7442H2617H1242H4869H4498H3117H6862 17Strong God, I'm watching you do it, I can always count on you— God, my dependable love. A David psalm, when he fought against Aram-naharaim and Aram-zobah and Joab killed twelve thousand Edomites at the Valley of Salt.H5797H2167H430H4869H430H2617
