engLXXup: Psalms 58

=> Chapters

 [1] For the end. Destroy not: by David for a memorial, when Saul sent, and watched his house to kill him.

[2] Deliver me from mine enemies, O God;

And ransom me from those that rise up against me.

[3] Deliver me from the workers of iniquity,

And save me from bloody men.

[4] For, behold, they have hunted after my soul;

Violent men have set upon me:

Neither is it my iniquity, nor my sin, O Lord.

[5] Without iniquity I ran and directed my course aright:

Awake to help me, and behold.

[6] And thou, Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel,

Draw nigh to visit all the heathen;

Pity not any that work iniquity. Pause.

[7] They shall return at evening, and hunger like a dog, and go round about the city.

[8] Behold, they shall utter a voice with their mouth,

And a sword is in their lips; for who, say they, has heard?

[9] But thou, Lord, wilt laugh them to scorn;

Thou wilt utterly set at nought all the heathen.

[10] I will keep my strength, looking to thee;

For thou, O God, art my helper.

[11] As for my God, his mercy shall go before me:

My God will show me vengeance on mine enemies.

[12] Slay them not, lest they forget thy law;

Scatter them by thy power;

And bring them down, O Lord, my defender.

[13] For the sin of their mouth, and the word of their lips,

Let them be even taken in their pride.

[14] And for their cursing and falsehood shall utter destruction be denounced:

They shall fall by the wrath of utter destruction, and shall not be;

So shall they know that the God of Jacob is Lord of the ends of the earth. Pause.

[15] They shall return at evening, and be hungry as a dog, and go round about the city.

[16] They shall be scattered hither and thither for meat;

And if they be not satisfied, they shall even murmur.

[17] But I will sing to thy strength,

And in the morning will I exult in thy mercy;

For thou hast been my supporter,

And my refuge in the day of mine affliction.

[18] Thou art my helper; to thee, my God, will I sing;

Thou art my supporter,

O my God, and my mercy.
