Psalms 59:2-9

²Rescue me from men who want to do what is wicked, men who are murderers!

³Look! They are waiting to kill me! Fierce men have gathered to assault me. Yahweh, they are doing that even though I have not done what is wrong!

⁴It is not because I have committed any sin against them that they run and get ready to attack me.

⁵Yahweh my God, commander of the armies of heaven, the one we Israelis worship, arise and punish the ungodly/heathen people of all the nations; do not be merciful to those wicked people who have ◄acted treacherously toward/secretly planned to harm► us.

⁶They return each evening, snarling like vicious dogs SIM as they prowl around this city.

⁷They loudly say terrible things; they say MTY many things that injure people like MET swords do, but they think, “No one will RHQ hear us!”

⁸But Yahweh, you laugh at them. You ◄scoff at/ridicule► the people of the pagan nations.

⁹God, I have confidence in you because you are very strong; you are my refuge.
