(59) For the end. Destroy not: by David for a memorial, when Saul sent, and watched his house to kill him. Deliver me from my enemies, O God; and ransom me from those that rise up against me.

2

Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men.

3

For, behold, they have hunted after my soul; violent men have set upon me: neither [is it] my iniquity, nor my sin, O Lord.

4

Without iniquity I ran and directed [my course aright]: awake to help me, and behold.

5

And you, Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel, draw near to visit all the heathen; pity not any that work iniquity. Pause.

6

They shall return at evening, and hunger like a dog, and go round about the city.

7

Behold, they shall utter a voice with their mouth, and a sword is in their lips; for who, [say they], has heard?

8

But you, Lord, will laugh them to scorn; you will utterly set at nothing all the heathen.

9

will keep my strength, [looking] to you; for you, O God, are my helper.

10

[As for] my God, his mercy shall go before me: my God will show me [vengeance] on my enemies.

11

Slay them not, lest they forget your law; scatter them by your power; and bring them down, O Lord, my defender.

12

[For] the sin of their mouth, [and] the word of their lips, let them be even taken in their pride.

13

And for [their] cursing and falsehood shall utter destruction be denounced: [they shall fall] by the wrath of utter destruction, and shall not be; so shall they know that the God of Jacob is Lord of the ends of the earth. Pause.

14

They shall return at evening, and be hungry as a dog, and go round about the city.

15

They shall be scattered hither and there for meat; and if they be not satisfied, they shall even murmur.

16

But I will sing to your strength, and in the morning will I exult [in] your mercy; for you have been my supporter, and my refuge in the day of my affliction.

17

[You are] my helper; to you, my God, will I sing; you are my supporter, O my God, [and] my mercy.
