17 Unto thee, O my
strength, will I sing: for God is my defense, and the God of my mercy.
Today’s Reading
Psalm
Chapter 59
Deliver me from mine
enemies, O my God
To the chief
Musician, Al-taschith, Michtam of David; when Saul sent, and they watched the
house to kill him. 1 Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from
them that rise up against me. 2 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and
save me from bloody men.
3 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. 4 They run and prepare themselves
without my fault: awake to help me, and behold. 5 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. 6 They return at evening: they make a noise
like a dog, and go round about 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 heathen in derision. 9
Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: for God is my defense. 10 The
God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see my desire upon mine
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: and for cursing and lying
which they speak. 13 Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be:
and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. Selah. 14
And at evening let them return; and let them make a noise like a dog, and go
round about the city. 15 Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if
they be not satisfied.
