Psalm 59
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Rescue me from my enemies, O God.
|
|
|
|
Protect me from those who have come to destroy me.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Rescue me from these criminals;
|
|
|
|
save me from these murderers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. They have set an ambush for me.
|
|
Fierce enemies are out there waiting, LORD,
|
|
|
|
though I have not sinned or offended them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. I have done nothing wrong,
|
|
|
|
yet they prepare to attack me.
|
|
|
|
Wake up! See what is happening and help me!
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. O LORD God of Heaven's Armies, the God of Israel,
|
|
|
|
wake up and punish those hostile nations.
|
|
|
|
Show no mercy to wicked traitors. Interlude
|
|
|
|
|
|
6. They come out at night,
|
|
|
|
snarling like vicious dogs
|
|
|
|
as they prowl the streets.
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. Listen to the filth that comes from their mouths;
|
|
|
|
their words cut like swords.
|
|
|
|
"After all, who can hear us?" they sneer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. But LORD, you laugh at them.
|
|
|
|
You scoff at all the hostile nations.
|
|
|
|
|
|
9. You are my strength; I wait for you to rescue me,
|
|
|
|
for you, O God, are my fortress.
|
|
|
|
|
|
10. In his unfailing love, my God will stand with me.
|
|
|
|
He will let me look down in triumph on all my enemies.
|
|
|
|
|
|
11. Don't kill them, for my people soon forget such lessons;
|
|
|
|
stagger them with your power, and bring them to their knees,
|
|
|
|
O Lord our shield.
|
|
|
|
|
|
12. Because of the sinful things they say,
|
|
|
|
because of the evil that is on their lips,
|
|
let them be captured by their pride,
|
|
|
|
their curses, and their lies.
|
|
|
|
|
|
13. Destroy them in your anger!
|
|
|
|
Wipe them out completely!
|
|
Then the whole world will know
|
|
that God reigns in Israel. Interlude
|
|
|
|
14. My enemies come out at night,
|
|
|
|
snarling like vicious dogs
|
|
|
|
as they prowl the streets.
|
|
|
|
|
|
15. They scavenge for food
|
|
but go to sleep unsatisfied.
|
|
|
|
16. But as for me, I will sing about your power.
|
|
|
|
Each morning I will sing with joy about your unfailing love.
|
|
|
|
For you have been my refuge,
|
|
|
|
a place of safety when I am in distress.
|
|
|
|
|
|
17. O my Strength, to you I sing praises,
|
|
|
|
for you, O God, are my refuge,
|
|
|
|
the God who shows me unfailing love.
