Psalms 59
59
A Prayer for Protection
For the director of music. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A miktam of David when Saul sent men to watch David’s house to kill him.
1God, save me from my enemies.
Protect me from those who come against me.
2Save me from those who do evil
and from murderers.
3Look, they are waiting to ambush me.
Cruel people attack me,
but I have not sinned or done wrong, Lord.
4I have done nothing wrong, but they are ready to attack me.
Wake up to help me, and look.
5You are the Lord God All-Powerful, the God of Israel.
Arise and punish those people.
Do not give those traitors any mercy. Selah
6They come back at night.
Like dogs they growl and roam around the city.
7Notice what comes from their mouths.
Insults come from their lips,
because they say, “Who’s listening?”
8But, Lord, you laugh at them;
you make fun of all of them.
9God, my strength, I am looking to you,
because God is my defender.
10My God loves me, and he goes in front of me.
He will help me defeat my enemies.
11Lord, our protector, do not kill them, or my people will forget.
With your power scatter them and defeat them.
12They sin by what they say;
they sin with their words.
They curse and tell lies,
so let their pride trap them.
13Destroy them in your anger;
destroy them completely!
Then they will know
that God rules over Israel
and to the ends of the earth.Selah
14They come back at night.
Like dogs they growl
and roam around the city.
15They wander about looking for food,
and they howl if they do not find enough.
16But I will sing about your strength.
In the morning I will sing about your love.
You are my defender,
my place of safety in times of trouble.
17God, my strength, I will sing praises to you.
God, my defender, you are the God who loves me.
