Psalms 58 — UBES
58Verse 1For the end. Destroy not: by David for a memorial, when Saul sent, and watched his house to kill him.Verse 2Deliver me from mine enemies, O God;
And ransom me from those that rise up against me.
Verse 3Deliver me from the workers of iniquity,
And save me from bloody men.Verse 4For, behold, they have hunted after my soul;
Violent men have set upon me:
Neither is it my iniquity, nor my sin, O Lord.
Verse 5Without iniquity I ran and directed my course aright:
Awake to help me, and behold.
Verse 6And thou, Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel,
Draw nigh to visit all the heathen;
Pity not any that work iniquity. Pause.
Verse 7They shall return at evening, and hunger like a dog, and go round about the city.Verse 8Behold, they shall utter a voice with their mouth,
And a sword is in their lips; for who, say they, has heard?
Verse 9But thou, Lord, wilt laugh them to scorn;
Thou wilt utterly set at nought all the heathen.
Verse 10I will keep my strength, looking to thee;
For thou, O God, art my helper.
Verse 11As for my God, his mercy shall go before me:
My God will show me vengeance on mine enemies.Verse 12Slay them not, lest they forget thy law;
Scatter them by thy power;
And bring them down, O Lord, my defender.
Verse 13For the sin of their mouth, and the word of their lips,
Let them be even taken in their pride.
Verse 14And 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.
Verse 15They shall return at evening, and be hungry as a dog, and go round about the city.
Verse 16They shall be scattered hither and thither for meat;
And if they be not satisfied, they shall even murmur.Verse 17But 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.
Verse 18Thou art my helper; to thee, my God, will I sing;
Thou art my supporter,
O my God, and my mercy.
And ransom me from those that rise up against me.
Verse 3Deliver me from the workers of iniquity,
And save me from bloody men.Verse 4For, behold, they have hunted after my soul;
Violent men have set upon me:
Neither is it my iniquity, nor my sin, O Lord.
Verse 5Without iniquity I ran and directed my course aright:
Awake to help me, and behold.
Verse 6And thou, Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel,
Draw nigh to visit all the heathen;
Pity not any that work iniquity. Pause.

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

O my God, and my mercy.
