Psalms:59
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Deliver me from mine enemies ,
O my God :
defend me from them that rise up against me .
*
Deliver me from the workers of iniquity ,
and save me from bloody men .
*
For ,
lo ,
they lie in wait for my soul :
the mighty are gathered against me ;
not for my transgression ,
nor for my sin ,
O LORD .
*
They run and prepare themselves without my fault :
awake to help me ,
and behold .
*
You therefore ,
O LORD God of hosts ,
the God of Israel ,
awake to visit all the heathen :
be not merciful to any wicked transgressors .
Selah .
*
They return at evening :
they make a noise like a dog ,
and go round about the city .
*
Behold ,
they belch out with their mouth :
swords are in their lips :
for who ,
say they ,
does hear ?
*
But you ,
O LORD ,
shall laugh at them ;
you shall have all the heathen in derision .
*
Because of his strength will I wait upon you :
for God is my defence .
*
The God of my mercy shall prevent me :
God shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies .
*
Slay them not ,
lest my people forget :
scatter them by your power ;
and bring them down ,
O Lord our shield .
*
For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride :
and for cursing and lying which they speak .
*
Consume them in wrath ,
consume them ,
that they may not be :
and let them know that God rules in Jacob unto the ends of the earth .
Selah .
*
And at evening let them return ;
and let them make a noise like a dog ,
and go round about the city .
*
Let them wander up and down for food ,
and grudge if they be not satisfied .
*
But I will sing of your power ;
yea ,
I will sing aloud of your mercy in the morning :
for you have been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble .
*
Unto you ,
O my strength ,
will I sing :
for God is my defence ,
and the God of my mercy .
