# Chapter 59
|
|
1 Deliver me from my enemies, O my God;
|
|
Defend me from those who rise up against me.
|
|
2 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity,
|
|
And save me from bloodthirsty men.
|
|
3 For look, they lie in wait for my life;
|
|
The mighty gather against me,
|
|
Not for my transgression nor for my sin, O Lord.
|
|
4 They run and prepare themselves through no fault of mine.
|
|
Awake to help me, and behold!
|
|
5 You therefore, O Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel,
|
|
Awake to punish all the nations;
|
|
Do not be merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah
|
|
6 At evening they return,
|
|
They growl like a dog,
|
|
And go all around the city.
|
|
7 Indeed, they belch with their mouth;
|
|
Swords are in their lips;
|
|
For they say, “Who hears?”
|
|
8 But You, O Lord, shall laugh at them;
|
|
You shall have all the nations in derision.
|
|
9 I will wait for You, O You his Strength;
|
|
For God is my defense.
|
|
10 My God of mercy shall come to meet me;
|
|
God shall let me see my desire on my enemies.
|
|
11 Do not slay them, lest my people forget;
|
|
Scatter them by Your power,
|
|
And bring them down,
|
|
O Lord our shield.
|
|
12 For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips,
|
|
Let them even be taken in their pride,
|
|
And for the cursing and lying which they speak.
|
|
13 Consume them in wrath, consume them,
|
|
That they may not be;
|
|
And let them know that God rules in Jacob
|
|
To the ends of the earth. Selah
|
|
14 And at evening they return,
|
|
They growl like a dog,
|
|
And go all around the city.
|
|
15 They wander up and down for food,
|
|
And howl if they are not satisfied.
|
|
16 But I will sing of Your power;
|
|
Yes, I will sing aloud of Your mercy in the morning;
|
|
For You have been my defense
|
|
And refuge in the day of my trouble.
|
|
17 To You, O my Strength, I will sing praises;
|
|
For God is my defense,
|
|
My God of mercy. |
