Psalms 59:2-12

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.

⁷Behold, they brag in their talke, and swords are in their lips: for, Who, say they, doeth heare?

⁸But thou, O Lord, shalt haue them in derision, and thou shalt laugh at all the heathen.

⁹He is strong: but I will waite vpon thee: for God is my defence.

¹⁰My mercifull God will preuent me: God wil let me see my desire vpon mine enemies.

¹¹Slay them not, least my people forget it: but scatter them abroad by thy power, and put them downe, O Lord our shield,

¹²For the sinne of their mouth, and the words of their lips: and let them be taken in their pride, euen for their periurie and lies, that they speake.
