Psalm 59God Our Stronghold
|
|
|
|
1. Rescue me from my enemies, my God;
|
|
protect me from those who rise up against me.
|
|
|
|
2. Rescue me from evildoers,
|
|
and save me from men of bloodshed.
|
|
|
|
3. Because look, Lord, they set an ambush for me.
|
|
Powerful men attack me,
|
|
but not because of any sin or rebellion of mine.
|
|
|
|
4. For no fault of mine,
|
|
they run and take up a position.
|
|
Awake to help me, and take notice.
|
|
|
|
5. Lord God of Armies, you are the God of Israel.
|
|
Rise up to punish all the nations;
|
|
do not show favor to any wicked traitors.Selah
|
|
|
|
6. They return at evening, snarling like dogs
|
|
and prowling around the city.
|
|
|
|
7. Look, they spew from their mouths--
|
|
sharp words from their lips.
|
|
"For who," they say, "will hear?"
|
|
|
|
8. But you laugh at them, Lord;
|
|
you ridicule all the nations.
|
|
|
|
9. I will keep watch for you, my strength,
|
|
because God is my stronghold.
|
|
|
|
10. My faithful God will come to meet me;
|
|
God will let me look down on my adversaries.
|
|
|
|
11. Do not kill them; otherwise, my people will forget.
|
|
By your power, make them homeless wanderers
|
|
and bring them down,
|
|
Lord, our shield.
|
|
|
|
12. For the sin of their mouths and the words of their lips,
|
|
let them be caught in their pride.
|
|
They utter curses and lies.
|
|
|
|
13. Consume them in fury;
|
|
consume them until they are gone.
|
|
Then people will know throughout the earth
|
|
that God rules over Jacob.Selah
|
|
|
|
14. And they return at evening, snarling like dogs
|
|
and prowling around the city.
|
|
|
|
15. They scavenge for food;
|
|
they growl if they are not satisfied.
|
|
|
|
16. But I will sing of your strength
|
|
and will joyfully proclaim
|
|
your faithful love in the morning.
|
|
For you have been a stronghold for me,
|
|
a refuge in my day of trouble.
|
|
|
|
17. To you, my strength, I sing praises,
|
|
because God is my stronghold--
|
|
my faithful God.
