Psalms Chapter 59 (NKJV Bible)
1 To the Chief Musician. Set to “Do Not Destroy.” A Michtam of David [1†]when Saul sent men, and they watched the house in order to kill him. [1] Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; Defend me from those who rise up against me.
2 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, And save me from bloodthirsty men.
3 For look, they lie in wait for my life; [2†]The mighty gather against me, Not for my transgression nor for my sin, O LORD.
4 They run and prepare themselves through no fault of mine. [3†]Awake to help me, and behold!
5 You therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, Awake to punish all the nations; Do not be merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah
6 [4†]At evening they return, They growl like a dog, And go all around the city.
7 Indeed, they belch with their mouth; [5†]Swords are in their lips; For they say, [6†]“Who hears?”
8 But [7†]You, O LORD, shall laugh at them; You shall have all the nations in derision.
9 I will wait for You, O You his Strength; [8†]For God is my defense.
10 My God of mercy shall [9†]come to meet me; God shall let [10†]me see my desire on my enemies.
11 Do not slay them, lest my people forget; Scatter them by Your power, And bring them down, O Lord our shield.
12 [11†]For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips, Let them even be taken in their pride, And for the cursing and lying which they speak.
13 [12†]Consume them in wrath, consume them, That they may not be; And [13†]let them know that God rules in Jacob To the ends of the earth. Selah
14 And [14†]at evening they return, They growl like a dog, And go all around the city.
15 They [15†]wander up and down for food, And howl if they are not satisfied.
16 But I will sing of Your power; Yes, I will sing aloud of Your mercy in the morning; For You have been my defense And refuge in the day of my trouble.
17 To You, [16†]O my Strength, I will sing praises; For God is my defense, My God of mercy.
