Psalm 59-60

Jubilee Bible 2000

To the Overcomer upon, Do not destroy, Michtam of David; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him.

¹ ¶ Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; defend me from those that rise up against me.

² Deliver me from the workers of iniquity and save me from bloodthirsty men.

³ For, behold, they lie in wait for my soul; the strong are gathered against me; I am not in rebellion, nor in sin, O LORD.

⁴ They run and prepare themselves when I have committed no iniquity; awake to help me and behold.

⁵ Thou, therefore, O LORD God of the hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the Gentiles; be not merciful to any rebellious workers of iniquity. Selah.

⁶ They will return at evening; they will bark like dogs and go round about outside the city.

⁷ Behold, they belch out with their mouth; swords are in their lips; for who, say they, doth hear?

⁸ ¶ But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the Gentiles in derision.

⁹ I will reserve his strength unto thee, for God is my defence.

¹⁰ The God of my mercy shall meet me on the way; God shall let me see my desire upon my enemies.

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

¹² For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips, let them even be taken in their pride; they shall be subject to weakness and to a curse.

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

¹⁴ And at evening let them return and let them bark like dogs and go round about outside the city.

¹⁵ Let them wander up and down for food and murmur if they are not satisfied.

¹⁶ But I will sing of thy power; I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning, for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble.

¹⁷ Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing, for God is my defence and the God of my mercy.

To the Overcomer upon Shushaneduth, Michtam of David, to teach; when he strove with Aramnaharaim and with Aramzobah, when Joab returned and smote of Edom in the valley of salt twelve thousand.

¹ ¶ O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us; thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again.

² Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it; heal its breaches, for it shakes.

³ Thou hast showed thy people hard things; thou hast made us to drink the wine of shaking.

⁴ Thou hast given a banner to those that fear thee that they raise up for the truth. Selah.

⁵ That thy beloved may be delivered, save with thy right hand and hear me.

⁶ ¶ God has spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem and mete out the valley of Succoth.

⁷ Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of my head; Judah is my lawgiver;

⁸ Moab is my washpot; over Edom I will cast out my shoe; Philistia, triumph thou because of me.

⁹ Who will bring me into the strong city? Who will lead me into Edom?

¹⁰ Surely thou, O God, who had cast us off; and thou, O God, who did not go out with our armies.

¹¹ Give us help from trouble, for vain is the salvation of man.

¹² Through God we shall do valiantly, for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
