PSAL. LIX.

[1]

My God, deliver me from those

that are mine enemies:
And do thou me defend from those
that up against me rise.

2

Do thou deliver me from them

that work iniquity;
And give me safety from the man
of bloudy cruelty.

3

For lo, they for my soul lay wait;

the mighty do combine
Against me, Lord, not for my fault,
nor any sin of mine.

4

They run, and without fault in me

themselves do ready make:
Awake to meet me with thy help,
and do thou notice take.

5

Awake therefore, Lord God of hosts

thou God of Israel,
To visit Heathen al: spare none
that wickedly rebel.

6

At ev'ning they go to and fro;

they make great noise, and sound
Like to a dog, and often walk
about the city round.

7

Behold, they belch out with their mouth,

and in their lips are swords:
For they do say thus, who is he
that now doth hear our words?

8

But thou, O Lord, shalt laugh at thē,

and al the Heathen mock.

9

While he's in power I'le wait on thee:

for God is my high rock.

10

He of my mercy that is God,

betimes shal me prevent:
Upon mine enemies God shal let
me see mine hearts content.

11

Them slay not, lest my folk forget;

but scatter, them abroad
By thy strong powr; and bring them down
O thou our shield, and God.

12

For their mouths sin, & for the words

that from their lips do fly,
Let them be taken in their pride,
because they curse and lye,

13

In wrath consume thē, thē consume

that so they may not be:
And that in Jacob God doth rule
to th'earths ends let them see.

14

At evening let thou them return

making great noise, and sound
Like to a dog, and often walk
about the city round.

15

And let them wander up and down

in seeking food, to eat;
And let thē grudg when they shal not
be satisfied with meat.

16

But of thy pow'r I'le sing aloud

at morn thy mercy praise:
For thou to me my refuge wast,
and towr in troublous dayes.

17

O God, that art my strength, I will

sing praises unto thee;
For God is my defence, a God
of mercy unto me.
