Psalm 59:1–10

1 Deliver me from my enemies, O my God;

2Defend me from those who rise up against me.

2 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity,

And save me from bloodthirsty men.

3 For look, they lie in wait for my life;

bThe mighty gather against me,

Not for my transgression nor for my sin, O Lord.

4 They run and prepare themselves through no fault of mine.

cAwake to help me, and behold!

5 You therefore, O Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel,

Awake to punish all the 3nations;

Do not be merciful to any wicked transgressors.

Selah

6 dAt evening they return,

They growl like a dog,

And go all around the city.

7 Indeed, they belch with their mouth;

eSwords are in their lips;

For they say, f“Who hears?”

8 But gYou, O Lord, shall laugh at them;

You shall have all the 4nations in derision.

9 I will wait for You, O You 5his Strength;

hFor God is my 6defense.

10 7My God of mercy shall icome to meet me;

God shall let jme see my desire on my enemies.
