Psalm 59
or Coverdale
Eripe me de inimicis

¹ Rescue me from my enemies, O God; *
protect me from those who rise up against me.
² Rescue me from evildoers *
and save me from those who thirst for my blood.
³ See how they lie in wait for my life,
how the mighty gather together against me; *
⁴ Not because of any guilt of mine *
they run and prepare themselves for battle.
⁵ Rouse yourself, come to my side, and see; *
for you, Lord God of hosts, are Israel's God.
⁶ Awake, and punish all the ungodly; *
show no mercy to those who are faithless and evil.
⁷ They go to and fro in the evening; *
they snarl like dogs and run about the city.
⁸ Behold, they boast with their mouths,
and taunts are on their lips; *
"For who," they say, "will hear us?"
⁹ But you, O Lord, you laugh at them; *
you laugh all the ungodly to scorn.
¹⁰ My eyes are fixed on you, O my Strength; *
for you, O God, are my stronghold.
¹¹ My merciful God comes to meet me; *
God will let me look in triumph on my enemies.
¹² Slay them, O God, lest my people forget; *
send them reeling by your might
and put them down, O Lord our shield.
¹³ For the sins of their mouths, for the words of their lips,
for the cursing and lies that they utter, *
let them be caught in their pride.
¹⁴ Make an end of them in your wrath; *
make an end of them, and they shall be no more.
¹⁵ Let everyone know that God rules in Jacob, *
and to the ends of the earth.
¹⁶ They go to and fro in the evening; *
they snarl like dogs and run about the city.
¹⁷ They forage for food, *
and if they are not filled, they howl.
¹⁸ For my part, I will sing of your strength; *
I will celebrate your love in the morning;
¹⁹ For you have become my stronghold, *
a refuge in the day of my trouble.
²⁰ To you, O my Strength, will I sing; *
for you, O God, are my stronghold and my merciful God.
