Psalms 59
Reading Psalms chapter 59 in the Darby Bible, public-domain text from 1890.
Verses 1–10
1 Deliver me from mine enemies, O myGod; secure me on high from them that rise up against me.
2 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from men of blood.
3 For behold, they lie in wait for my soul; strong ones are gathered against me: not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O Jehovah.
4 They run and prepare themselves without [my] fault: awake to meet me, and behold.
5 Yea, do thou, Jehovah, theGod of hosts, theGod of Israel, arise to visit all the nations: be not gracious to any plotters of iniquity. Selah.
6 They return in the evening; they howl 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, Jehovah, wilt laugh at them; thou wilt have all the nations in derision.
9 Their strength! ...I will take heed to thee; forGod is my high fortress.
10 God, whose loving-kindness will come to meet me, —God shall let me see [my desire] upon mine enemies.
