1“To the chief musician, Al-tashcheth, by David, a Michtham, when Saul sent, and they watched the house to put him to death.” (59:2) Deliver me from my enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me.
2(59:3) Deliver me from the workers of wickedness, and from men of blood do thou save me.
3(59:4) For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul, the mighty are gathered in troops against me: not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O Lord.
4(59:5) Without guilt in me they run and make themselves ready: awake, come toward me, and behold.
5(59:6) And thou, O Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to punish all the nations: be not gracious to any treacherous wicked one. Selah.
6(59:7) They will return at evening; they will howl like dogs, and go round about the city.
7(59:8) Behold, they sputter with their mouth: swords are in their lips; for who, say they, doth hear?
8(59:9) But thou, O Lord, wilt laugh at theme: thou wilt hold in derision all the nations.
