Psalms Chapter 59World English Bible2: Deliver me from the workers of iniquity. Save me from the bloodthirsty men. 3: For, behold, they lie in wait for my soul. The mighty gather themselves together against me, Not for my disobedience, nor for my sin, Yahweh. 4: I have done no wrong, yet they are ready to attack me. Rise up, behold, and help me! 5: You, Yahweh God of hosts, the God of Israel, Rouse yourself to punish the nations. Show no mercy to the wicked traitors. Selah. 6: They return at evening, howling like dogs, And prowl around the city. 7: Behold, they spew with their mouth. Swords are in their lips, "For," they say, "who hears us?" 8: But you, Yahweh, laugh at them. You scoff at all the nations. 9: Oh, my Strength, I watch for you, For God is my high tower. 10: My God will go before me with his lovingkindness. God will let me look at my enemies in triumph. 11: Don't kill them, or my people may forget. Scatter them by your power, and bring them down, Lord our shield. 12: For the sin of their mouth, and the words of their lips, Let them be caught in their pride, For the curses and lies which they utter. 13: Consume them in wrath. Consume them, and they will be no more. Let them know that God rules in Jacob, To the ends of the earth. Selah. 14: At evening let them return. Let them howl like a dog, and go around the city. 15: They shall wander up and down for food, And wait all night if they aren't satisfied. 16: But I will sing of your strength. Yes, I will sing aloud of your lovingkindness in the morning. For you have been my high tower, A refuge in the day of my distress. 17: To you, my strength, I will sing praises. For God is my high tower, the God of my mercy.
