KJV Psalms Chapter 59

1 Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me. 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 defence. 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. 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. 14 And at evening let them return; |and| let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city. 15 Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be not satisfied. 16 But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble. 17 Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God |is| my defence, |and| the God of my mercy.
