Psalms 59
1
Set me on high from those who rise up against me.
2
Save me from the bloodthirsty men.
3
not for my disobedience, nor for my sin, Yahweh.
4
Rise up, behold, and help me!
5
Show no mercy to the wicked traitors.
6
and prowl around the city.
7
“For”, they say, “who hears us?”
8
You scoff at all the nations.
9
for God is my high tower.
10
God will let me look at my enemies in triumph.
11
Scatter them by your power, and bring them down, Lord our shield.
12
for the curses and lies which they utter.
13
to the ends of the earth.
14
Let them howl like a dog, and go around the city.
15
and wait all night if they aren’t satisfied.
16
a refuge in the day of my distress.
17
For God is my high tower, the God of my mercy.
