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.
591To the chief Musician. 'Destroy not.' Of David. Michtam; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him. Deliver me from mine enemies, O myGod; secure me on high from them that rise up against me.+2Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from men of blood.+3For behold, they lie in wait for my soul; strong ones are gathered against me: not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O Jehovah.+4They run and prepare themselves without [my] fault: awake to meet me, and behold.+5Yea, do thou, Jehovah, theGod of hosts, theGod of Israel, arise to visit all the nations: be not gracious to any plotters of iniquity. Selah.+6They return in the 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, Jehovah, wilt laugh at them; thou wilt have all the nations in derision.+9Their strength!...I will take heed to thee; forGod is my high fortress.+10God, whose loving-kindness will come to meet me, —God shall let me see [my desire] upon mine enemies.+11Slay them not, lest my people forget; by thy power make them wander, and bring them down, O Lord, our shield.+12[Because of] the sin of their mouth, the word of their lips, let them even be taken in their pride; and because of cursing and lying which they speak.+13Make an end in wrath, make an end, that they may be no more; that they may know thatGod ruleth in Jacob, unto the ends of the earth. Selah.+14And in the evening they shall return, they shall howl like a dog, and go round about the city.+15They shall wander about for meat, and stay all night if they be not satisfied.+16But as for me, I will sing of thy strength; yea, I will sing aloud of thy loving-kindness in the morning; for thou hast been to me a high fortress, and a refuge in the day of my trouble.+17Unto thee, my strength, will I sing psalms; forGod is my high fortress, theGod of my mercy.+
