Psalm 59 - ESV Bible - Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; protect me...

Deliver Me from My Enemies

To the choirmaster: according to Do Not Destroy. A Miktam of David, when Saul sent men to watch his house in order to kill him.

1 ¹Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; ²protect me from those who ³rise up against me;

2 deliver me from ⁴those who work evil, and save me from ⁵bloodthirsty men.

3 For behold, they ⁶lie in wait for my life; fierce men ⁷stir up strife against me. ⁸For no transgression or sin of mine, O LORD,

4 for no fault of mine, they run and make ready. ⁹Awake, come to meet me, and see!

5 You, ¹⁰LORD God of hosts, are God of Israel. Rouse yourself to punish all the nations; spare none of those who treacherously plot evil. Selah

6 Each evening they ¹¹come back, howling like dogs and prowling about the city.

7 There they are, ¹²bellowing with their mouths with ¹³swords in their lips-- for ¹⁴"Who," they think,^a"will hear us?"

8 But you, O LORD, ¹⁵laugh at them; you hold all the nations in derision.

9 O my Strength, I will watch for you, for you, O God, are ¹⁶my fortress.

10 ¹⁷My God in his steadfast love^b¹⁸will meet me; God will let me ¹⁹look in triumph on my enemies.

11 Kill them not, lest my people forget; make them totter^c by your power and ²⁰bring them down, O Lord, our ²¹shield!

12 For ²²the sin of their mouths, the words of their lips, let them be trapped in their pride. For the cursing and lies that they utter,

13 ²³consume them in wrath; consume them till they are no more, that they may ²⁴know that God rules over Jacob to ²⁵the ends of the earth. Selah

14 ²⁶Each evening they come back, howling like dogs and prowling about the city.

15 They ²⁷wander about for food and growl if they do not get their fill.

16 But I will sing of your strength; I will sing aloud of your steadfast love in the morning. For you have been to me ²⁸a fortress and ²⁹a refuge in ³⁰the day of my distress.

17 O my Strength, I will sing praises to you, for you, O God, ³¹are my fortress, ³²the God who shows me steadfast love.
