Psalms 59 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

A prayer for protection

(For the music leader. To the tune “Don't Destroy”. A special psalm by David when Saul had David's house watched so that he could kill him.)

1. Save me, God! Protect mefrom enemy attacks!

2. Keep me safe from brutal peoplewho want to kill me.

3. Merciless enemies, Lord,are hiding and plotting,hoping to kill me.I have not hurt themin any way at all.

4. But they are ready to attack.Do something! Help me!Look at what's happening.

5. Lord God All-Powerful,you are the God of Israel.Punish the other nationsand don't pity those terribleand rebellious people.

6. My enemies return at evening,growling like dogsroaming the city.

7. They curse and their wordscut like swords,as they say to themselves,“No one can hear us!”

8. You, Lord, laugh at themand sneer at the nations.

9. You are my mighty fortress,and I depend on you.

10. You love me and will let mesee my enemies defeated.

11. Don't kill them,or everyone may forget!Just use your mighty powerto make them trembleand fall.You are a shieldfor your people.

12. My enemies are liars!So let them be trappedby their boastful lies.

13. Get angry and destroy them.Leave them in ruin.Then all the nations will knowthat you rule in Israel.

14. Those liars return at evening,growling like dogsroaming the city.

15. They search for scraps of food,and they snarluntil they are full.

16. But I will sing aboutyour strength, my God,and I will celebratebecause of your love.You are my fortress,my place of protectionin times of trouble.

17. I will sing your praises!You are my mighty fortress,and you love me.
