59:1  Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God; defend me from them that rise up against me.
59:2  Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men.
59:3  For lo, they lie in wait for my soul; the mighty are gathered against me, not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O Lord.
59:4  They run and prepare themselves though I am not at fault. Awake to help me, and behold!
59:5  Thou therefore, O Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the heathen; be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah
59:6  They return at evening; they make a noise like a dog and go round about 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 hold all the heathen in derision.
59:9  Because of his strength, I will wait upon Thee; for God is my defense.
59:10  The God of my mercy shall go before me; God shall let me see my desire upon mine 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, and for the cursing and lying which they speak.
59:13  Consume 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
59:14  And at evening let them return, and let them make a noise like a dog and go round about the city.
59:15  Let them wander up and down for meat, and grumble if they be not satisfied.
59:16  But I will sing of Thy power, yea, I will sing aloud of Thy mercy in the morning; for Thou hast been my defense and refuge in the day of my trouble.
59:17  Unto Thee, O my Strength, will I sing; for God is my defense, and the God of my mercy.
