CHAPTER 59

For the choirmaster.

To the tune of

“Do Not Destroy.”

A Miktam

of David,

when Saul

sent

men to watch

his house

to kill him.

Deliver me

from my enemies,

O my God;

protect me

from those who rise against me.

Deliver me

from workers

of iniquity,

and save me

from men of bloodshed.

See

how they lie in wait

for me.

Fierce men

conspire

against me

for no

transgression

or

sin of my own,

O LORD.

For no

fault of my own,

they move swiftly

to attack me.

Arise

to help me,

and take notice.

O LORD

God

of Hosts,

the God

of Israel,

rise up

to punish

all

the nations;

show no

mercy

to the

wicked

traitors.

Selah

They return

in the evening,

snarling

like dogs

and prowling around

the city.

See what

they spew

from their mouths—

sharp words

from their lips:

“For

who

can hear us?”

But You,

O LORD,

laugh

at them;

You scoff

at all

the nations.

I will keep watch

for You,

O my strength;

for You,

O God,

are my fortress.

My God

of loving devotion

will come to meet me;

God

will let me stare down

my foes.

Do not

kill them,

or

my people

will forget.

Scatter them

by Your power,

and bring them down,

O Lord,

our shield.

By the sins

of their mouths

and the words

of their lips,

let them be trapped

in their pride,

in the curses

and lies

they utter.

Consume

them in wrath;

consume

them till they are no more,

so it may be known

to the ends

of the earth

that

God

rules

over Jacob.

Selah

They return

in the evening,

snarling

like dogs

and prowling around

the city.

They

scavenge

for food,

and growl

if

they are not

satisfied.

But I

will sing

of Your strength

and proclaim

Your loving devotion

in the morning.

For

You are

my fortress,

my refuge

in times

of trouble.

To You,

O my strength,

I sing praises,

for

You, O God,

are my fortress,

my God

of loving devotion.
