Fierce men conspire against me for no offense or sin of mine, O Lord. 59:4 I have done no wrong, yet they are ready to attack me. Arise to help me; look on my plight! 59:5 O Lord God Almighty, the God of Israel, rouse yourself to punish all the nations; show no mercy to wicked traitors. 59:6 They return at evening, snarling like dogs, and prowl about the city. 59:7 See what they spew from their mouths- they spew out swords from their lips, and they say, 'Who can hear us?' 59:8 But you, O Lord , laugh at them; you scoff at all those nations. 59:9 O my Strength, I watch for you; you, O God, are my fortress, 59:10 my loving God. God will go before me and will let me gloat over those who slander me. 59:11 But do not kill them, O Lord our shield, or my people will forget. In your might make them wander about, and bring them down. 59:12 For the sins of their mouths, for the words of their lips, let them be caught in their pride. For the curses and lies they utter, 59:13 consume them in wrath, consume them till they are no more. Then it will be known to the ends of the earth that God rules over Jacob. 59:14 They return at evening, snarling like dogs, and prowl about the city. 59:15 They wander about for food and howl if not satisfied. 59:16 But I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love; for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble. 59:17 O my Strength, I sing praise to you; you, O God, are my fortress, my loving God.
