Psalms 59:1-6

¹To him that excelleth. Destroy not. A Psalme of David on Michtam. When Saul sent and they did watch the house to kill him. O my God, deliuer mee from mine enemies: defend me from them that rise vp against me.

²Deliuer me from the wicked doers, and saue me from the bloody men.

³For loe, they haue layd waite for my soule: the mightie men are gathered against me, not for mine offence, nor for my sinne, O Lord.

⁴They runne and prepare themselues without a fault on my part: arise therefore to assist me, and beholde.

⁵Euen thou, O Lord God of hostes, O God of Israel awake to visit all the heathen, and be not merciful vnto all that transgresse maliciously. Selah.

⁶They goe to and from in the euening: they barke like dogs, and goe about the citie.
