CHAP. LIX.

1 Dauid prayeth to be deliuered from his enemies. 6 Hee complaineth of their cruelty. 8 Hee trusteth in God. 11 He prayeth against them. 16 He praiseth God.

¹[To the chiefe musician Al-taschith, Michtam of Dauid: when Saul sent, and they watcht the house to kill him.] Deliuer me from mine enemies, O my God: defend mee from them that rise vp against me.¹

²Deliuer mee from the workers of iniquitie, and saue me from bloodie men.

³For loe, they lye in waite for my soule; the mighty are gathered against me, not for my transgression, nor for my sinne, O Lord.

⁴They runne and prepare themselues without my fault: awake to helpe me, and behold.⁴

⁵Thou therefore, O Lord God of hostes, the God of Israel, awake to visite all the heathen: be not mercifull to any wicked transgressours. Selah.

⁶They returne at euening: they make a noise like a dogge, and go round about the citie.

⁷Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lippes; for who, say they, doeth heare?⁷

⁸But thou, O Lord, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt haue all the heathen in derision.

⁹Because of his strength will I wait vpon thee: for God is my defence.⁹

¹⁰The God of my mercy shall preuent me; God shall let mee see my desire vpon mine enemies.¹⁰

¹¹Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power; and bring them downe, O Lord our shield.

¹²For the sinne of their mouth, and the words of their lips, let them euen be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying which they speake.

¹³Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be: and let them know that God ruleth in Iacob, vnto the ends of the earth. Selah.

¹⁴And at euening let them returne, and let them make a noise like a dogge, and goe round about the citie.

¹⁵Let them wander vp and downe for meate, and grudge if they be not satisfied.¹⁵

¹⁶But I will sing of thy power; yea I will sing alowd of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast bene my defence and refuge, in the day of my trouble.

¹⁷Vnto thee, O my strength, wil I sing: for God is my defence, and the God of my mercy.
