NASB Bible

Psalms 59

For the choir director; set to  aAl-tashheth. A  bMikhtam of David,  cwhen Saul sent men and they watched the house in order to kill him.

1

 aDeliver me from my enemies, O my God;  1 bSet me securely on high away from those who rise up against me.

2

Deliver me from  athose who do iniquity And save me from  bmen of bloodshed.

3

For behold, they  ahave  1set an ambush for my  2life;  3Fierce men  4 alaunch an attack against me,  bNot for my transgression nor for my sin, O LORD,

4

 1 aFor no guilt of mine, they run and set themselves against me.  bArouse Yourself to  2help me, and see!

5

You,  aO LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, Awake to  1 bpunish all the nations;  cDo not be gracious to any who are treacherous in iniquity.  2Selah.

6

They  areturn at evening, they howl like a  bdog, And go around the city.

7

Behold, they  abelch forth with their mouth;  bSwords are in their lips, For, they say,cWho hears?"

8

But You, O LORD,  alaugh at them; You  bscoff at all the nations.

9

Because of  1his  astrength I will watch for You, For God is my  bstronghold.

10

 1My God  ain His lovingkindness will meet me; God will let me  blook triumphantly upon  2my foes.

11

Do not slay them,  aor my people will forget;  1 bScatter them by Your power, and bring them down, O Lord,  cour shield.

12

 1On account of the  asin of their mouth and the words of their lips, Let them even be  bcaught in their pride, And on account of  ccurses and  2lies which they utter.

13

 1 aDestroy them in wrath,  1destroy them that they may be no more; That men may  bknow that God  2rules in Jacob To the ends of the earth. Selah.

14

They  areturn at evening, they howl like a dog, And go around the city.

15

They  awander about  1for food And  2growl if they are not satisfied.

16

But as for me, I shall  asing of Your strength; Yes, I shall  bjoyfully sing of Your lovingkindness in the  cmorning, For You have been my  dstronghold And a  erefuge in the day of my distress.

17

 aO my strength, I will sing praises to You; For God is my  bstronghold, the  1God who shows me lovingkindness.
