Psalm 59 by David:
Deliver me from my enemies
(Saul sent men to watch his house
in order to kill him)
how his enemies threaten him
those who rise up against me
those who work evil
bloodthirsty men
they lie in wait for my life
fierce men stir up strife against me
Vindication
For no transgression or sin of mine, O Lord
for no fault of mine
Each evening they come back, howling like dogs and prowling about the city x2
asking God for delivery
O my God, delivery me from x2 my enemies / those who work evil
protect me from those who rise up against me
save me from bloodthirsty men
his belief about God
Lord God of hosts are God Israel
rouse yourself to punish all nations
treacherously plot evil
spare none of those who treacherously plot evil
there they are, bellowing with their mouths with swords in their lips - for "Who will hear us?" they think
But you, O Lord, laugh at them
Oh God, for You are my fortress
My God, in his steadfast love will meet me
God will let me look in triumph on my enemies
kill them not, lest my people forget
make them totter by Your power and bring them down
let them be trapped in their pride
the sin of their mouths, the words of their lips
O Lord, "our" shield
consume them in wrath
they utter the cursing and lies
they wander about for food and growl if they do not get fill
contrasting actions to his enemies
But I will sing of Your strength;
I will sing aloud of Your steadfast love in the morning
YOU have been to me a fortress and a refuge in the day of my distress
Oh, my strength I will watch for YOU
I will sing praises to You
the God who shows me steadfast love
awake, come to meet me and see
YOU hold all the nations in derision
consume them till they are no more
they may know that God rules over Jacob to the ends of the earth
Oh my Strength, I will sing praises to You
For You, O God, are my fortress
