Psalms 59:2-9

²Deliver me from the workers of iniquity. Save me from the bloodthirsty men.

³For, behold, they lie in wait for my soul. The mighty gather themselves together against me, not for my disobedience, nor for my sin, LORD.

⁴I have done no wrong, yet they are ready to attack me. Rise up, behold, and help me!

⁵You, LORD God of Hosts, the God of Israel, rouse yourself to punish the nations. Show no mercy to the wicked traitors. Selah.

⁶They return at evening, howling like dogs, and prowl around the city.

⁷Behold, they spew with their mouth. Swords are in their lips, “For”, they say, “who hears us?”

⁸But you, LORD, laugh at them. You scoff at all the nations.

⁹Oh, my Strength, I watch for you, for God is my high tower.
