Psalms 59:1-9

Bible Text

[1] > Deliver me from my enemies, my God. Set me on high from those who rise up against me. [2] Deliver me from the workers of iniquity. Save me from the bloodthirsty men. [3] For, behold, they lie in wait for my soul. The mighty gather themselves together against me, Not for my disobedience, nor for my sin, Yahweh. [4] I have done no wrong, yet they are ready to attack me. Rise up, behold, and help me! [5] You, Yahweh God of hosts, the God of Israel, Rouse yourself to punish the nations. Show no mercy to the wicked traitors. Selah. [6] They return at evening, howling like dogs, And prowl around the city. [7] Behold, they spew with their mouth. Swords are in their lips, "For," they say, "who hears us?" [8] But you, Yahweh, laugh at them. You scoff at all the nations. [9] Oh, my Strength, I watch for you, For God is my high tower.
