nsb - Psalms:59

nsb@Psalms:59:1 @ Rescue me from my enemies, O my God. Protect me from those who attack me.

nsb@Psalms:59:2 @ Deliver me from troublemakers. Save me from bloodthirsty people.

nsb@Psalms:59:3 @ They lie in ambush for me right here! Fierce men attack me, O Jehovah, but not because of any disobedience.

nsb@Psalms:59:4 @ And not because any sin or any guilt on my part. They hurry to take positions against me. Wake up, and help me; see for yourself.

nsb@Psalms:59:5 @ O Jehovah God of Hosts, God of Israel, arise to punish all the nations. Have no pity on any who pursue iniquity.

nsb@Psalms:59:6 @ They return in the evening. They howl like dogs. They prowl the city.

nsb@Psalms:59:7 @ See what pours out of their mouths, swords from their lips! They think: Who will hear us?

nsb@Psalms:59:8 @ O Jehovah, you laugh at them. You make fun of all the nations.

nsb@Psalms:59:9 @ O my strength, I watch for you! God is my stronghold, my merciful God!

nsb@Psalms:59:10 @ My God of loving-kindness will come to meet me. He will let me gloat over those who spy on me.

nsb@Psalms:59:11 @ Do not kill them. Otherwise, my people may forget. Make them wander aimlessly by your power. Bring them down, O Jehovah, our shield.

nsb@Psalms:59:12 @ This is because of the sins from their mouths and the words on their lips. Let them be trapped by their own arrogance because they speak curses and lies.

nsb@Psalms:59:13 @ Destroy them in your rage. Destroy them until not one of them is left. Then they will know that God rules Jacob to the ends of the earth.

nsb@Psalms:59:14 @ They return in the evening. They howl like dogs. They prowl the city.

nsb@Psalms:59:15 @ They wander around to find food. If they are not full enough, they will stay all night.

nsb@Psalms:59:16 @ But I will sing about your strength. In the morning I will joyfully sing about your loving-kindness. You have been my stronghold and a place of safety in times of trouble.

nsb@Psalms:59:17 @ O my strength, I will make music to praise you! God is my defense, my merciful God!
