1“For the leader of the music. To the tune of “Do not destroy.” A psalm of David, when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him.” Deliver me from my enemies, O my God! Defend me from them that rise up against me!
2Deliver me from the doers of iniquity, And save me from men of blood!
3For, lo! they lie in wait for my life; The mighty are gathered against me, Without any offence or fault of mine, O LORD!
4Without any offence of mine, they run and prepare themselves; Awake to help me, and behold!
5Do thou, O Jehovah, God of hosts, God of Israel, Awake to punish all the nations! Show no mercy to any wicked transgressors! Pause.
6Let them return at evening, Let them howl like dogs, And go round about the city!
Psalms 59
