For the choirmaster. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Miktam + 59:1 Miktam is probably a musical or liturgical term; used for Psalms 16 and 56–60. of David, when Saul sent men to watch David’s house in order to kill him.
591Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: Set me on high from them that rise up against me.+2Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, And save me from the bloodthirsty men.+3For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul; The mighty gather themselves together against me: Not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O Jehovah.+4They run and prepare themselves without [my] fault: Awake thou to help me, and behold.+5Even thou, O Jehovah God of hosts, the God of Israel, Arise to visit all the nations: Be not merciful to any wicked transgressors.[Selah+6They return at evening, they howl like a dog, And go round about the city.+7Behold, they belch out with their mouth; Swords are in their lips: For who, [say they], doth hear?+8But thou, O Jehovah, wilt laugh at them; Thou wilt have all the nations in derision.+9[Because of] his strength I will give heed unto thee; For God is my high tower.+10My God with his lovingkindness will meet me: God will let me see [my desire] upon mine enemies.+11Slay 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.+13Consume them in wrath, consume them, so that they shall be no more: And let them know that God ruleth in Jacob, Unto the ends of the earth.[Selah+14And at evening let them return, let them howl like a dog, And go round about the city.+15They shall wander up and down for food, And tarry all night if they be not satisfied.+16But I will sing of thy strength; Yea, I will sing aloud of thy lovingkindness in the morning: For thou hast been my high tower, And a refuge in the day of my distress.+17Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing praises: For God is my high tower, the God of my mercy.+
