Psalms 59:3-8

1. 3 For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O LORD.

2. 4 They run and prepare themselves without my fault: awake to help me, and behold.

3. 5 Thou therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah.

4. 6 They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.

5. 7 Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, doth hear?

6. 8 But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision.
