Psalms 59:1-5 The Message (MSG)
My God! Rescue me from my enemies, defend me from these mutineers. Rescue me from their dirty tricks, save me from their hit men. Desperadoes have ganged up on me, they’re hiding in ambush for me. I did nothing to deserve this, GOD, crossed no one, wronged no one. All the same, they’re after me, determined to get me. Wake up and see for yourself! You’re GOD, GOD-of-Angel-Armies, Israel’s God! Get on the job and take care of these pagans, don’t be soft on these hard cases.
Psalms 59:1-5 King James Version (KJV)
Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: Defend me from them that rise up against me. Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, And save me from bloody men. 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. They run and prepare themselves without my fault. Awake to help me, and behold. 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.

For behold, they have set an ambush for my life; Fierce men launch an attack against me, Not for my transgression nor for my sin, O LORD, For no guilt of mine, they run and set themselves against me. Arouse Yourself to help me, and see! You, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, Awake to punish all the nations; Do not be gracious to any who are treacherous in iniquity. Selah.
