Psalms 59
To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him.
1Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me.2Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men.
3For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not <add>for</add> my transgression, nor <add>for</add> my sin, O LORD.
4They run and prepare themselves without <add>my</add> fault: awake to help me, and behold.
5Thou therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah.
6They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
7Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords <add>are</add> in their lips: for who, <add>say they</add>, doth hear?
8But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision.
9<add>Because of</add> his strength will I wait upon thee: for God <add>is</add> my defence.
10The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see <add>my desire</add> upon mine enemies.
11Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield.
12<add>For</add> the sin of their mouth <add>and</add> the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying <add>which</add> they speak.
13Consume <add>them</add> in wrath, consume <add>them</add>, that they <add>may</add> not <add>be:</add> and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. Selah.
14And at evening let them return; <add>and</add> let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
15Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be not satisfied.
16But 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.
17Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God <add>is</add> my defence, <add>and</add> the God of my mercy.
