58:0 ^[351] KJV Chapter [59] To the chief Musician, Al- taschith, Michtam of David; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him:

58:1 Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me:

58:2 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men:

58:3 For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not [for] my transgression, nor [for] my sin, O LORD:

58:4 They run and prepare themselves without [my] fault: awake to help me, and behold:

58:5 Thou therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah:

58:6 They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city:

58:7 Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords [are] in their lips: for who, [say they], doth hear:

58:8 But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision:

58:9 Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: for God [is] my defence:

58:10 The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see [my desire] upon mine enemies:

58:11 Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield:

58:12 For the sin of their mouth [and] the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying [which] they speak:

58:13 Consume [them] in wrath, consume [them], that they [may] not [be]: and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. Selah:

58:14 And at evening let them return; [and] let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city:

58:15 Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be not satisfied:

58:16 But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning:

58:17 KJV [16] for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble:
