Psalm 59 :: King James Version (KJV)

Psa 59:1

Psa 59:1[[To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him.]] Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me.

Psa 59:2

Psa 59:2Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men.

Psa 59:3

Psa 59:3For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O LORD.

Psa 59:4

Psa 59:4They run and prepare themselves without my fault: awake to help me, and behold.

Psa 59:5

Psa 59:5Thou therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah.

Psa 59:6

Psa 59:6They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.

Psa 59:7

Psa 59:7Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, doth hear?

Psa 59:9

Psa 59:9Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: for God is my defence.

Psa 59:12For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying which they speak.

Psa 59:13

Psa 59:13Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be: and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. Selah.

Psa 59:17

Psa 59:17Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God is my defence, and the God of my mercy.
