Psalms 58 — GMV

58 Verse 1 For the end. Destroy not: by David for a memorial, when Saul sent, and watched his house to kill him. ^{Verse 2} Deliver me from mine enemies, O God; ^{Verse 3} Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, ^{Verse 4} For, behold, they have hunted after my soul; ^{Verse 5} Without iniquity I ran and directed my course aright: ^{Verse 6} And thou, Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel, ^{Verse 7} They shall return at evening, and hunger like a dog, and go round about the city. ^{Verse 8} Behold, they shall utter a voice with their mouth, ^{Verse 9} But thou, Lord, wilt laugh them to scorn; ^{Verse 10} I will keep my strength, looking to thee; ^{Verse 11} As for my God, his mercy shall go before me: ^{Verse 12} Slay them not, lest they forget thy law; ^{Verse 13} For the sin of their mouth, and the word of their lips, ^{Verse 14} And for their cursing and falsehood shall utter destruction be denounced: ^{Verse 15} They shall return at evening, and be hungry as a dog, and go round about the city. ^{Verse 16} They shall be scattered hither and thither for meat; ^{Verse 17} But I will sing to thy strength, ^{Verse 18} Thou art my helper; to thee, my God, will I sing;
