59:1  To the Overcomer upon, Do not destroy, Michtam of David; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him. Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; defend me from those that rise up against me.
59:2  Deliver me from the workers of iniquity and save me from bloodthirsty men.
59:3  For, behold, they lie in wait for my soul; the strong are gathered against me; I am not in rebellion, nor in sin, O LORD.
59:4  They run and prepare themselves when I have committed no iniquity; awake to help me and behold.
59:5  Thou, therefore, O LORD God of the hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the Gentiles; be not merciful to any rebellious workers of iniquity. Selah.
59:6  They will return at evening; they will bark like dogs and go round about outside the city.
59:7  Behold, they belch out with their mouth; swords are in their lips; for who, say they, doth hear?
59:8  But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the Gentiles in derision.
59:9  I will reserve his strength unto thee, for God is my defence.
59:10  The God of my mercy shall meet me on the way; God shall let me see my desire upon my enemies.
59:11  Slay them not lest my people forget; scatter them by thy power and bring them down, O Lord our shield.
59:12  For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips, let them even be taken in their pride; they shall be subject to weakness and to a curse.
59:13  Consume them in wrath, consume them that they may not be and let them know that God rules in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. Selah.
59:14  And at evening let them return and let them bark like dogs and go round about outside the city.
59:15  Let them wander up and down for food and murmur if they are not satisfied.
59:16  But I will sing of thy power; I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning, for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble.
59:17  Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing, for God is my defence and the God of my mercy.
