Psalms 59:2 - Psalms 59:12
2 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men.
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.
4 They run and prepare themselves without my fault; awake to help me, and behold.
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.
6 They return at evening; they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
7 Behold, they belch out with their mouth; swords are in their lips; for who, say they, doth hear?
8 But thou, O Lord, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision.
9 Because of his strength will I wait upon thee; for God is my defense.
10 The God of my mercy shall prevent me; God shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies.
11 Slay them not, lest my people forget; scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Lord, our shield.
12 For 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.
