Psalms 59:2-13

²Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, And save me from bloody men.

³For lo, they lie in wait for my soul: The mighty are gathered against me; Not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O Lord.

⁴They run and prepare themselves without my fault: Awake to help me, and behold.

⁵Thou therefore, O Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel, Awake to visit all the heathen: Be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah.

⁶They return at evening: They make a noise like a dog, And go round about the city.

⁷Behold, they belch out with their mouth: Swords are in their lips: For who, say they, doth hear?

⁸But thou, O Lord, shalt laugh at them; Thou shalt have all the heathen in derision.

⁹Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: For God is my defence.

¹⁰The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies.

¹¹Slay them not, lest my people forget: Scatter them by thy power; And bring them down, O Lord our shield.

¹²For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips Let them even be taken in their pride: And for cursing and lying which they speak.

¹³Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be: And let them know that God ruleth in Jacob Unto the ends of the earth. Selah.
