Psalms 59:3-11

³For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul; The mighty gather themselves together against me: Not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O Jehovah.

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

⁵Even thou, O Jehovah God of hosts, the God of Israel, Arise to visit all the nations: Be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah

⁶They return at evening, they howl 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 Jehovah, wilt laugh at them; Thou wilt have all the nations in derision.

⁹Because of his strength I will give heed unto thee; For God is my high tower.

¹⁰My God with his lovingkindness will meet me: God will 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.
