1 For the music director; according to the al-tashcheth style; a prayer of David, written when Saul sent men to surround his house and murder him. Deliver me from my enemies, my God! Protect me from those who attack me! 2 Deliver me from evildoers! Rescue me from violent men! 3 For look, they wait to ambush me; powerful men stalk me, but not because I have rebelled or sinned, O LORD. 4 Though I have done nothing wrong, they are anxious to attack. Spring into action and help me! Take notice of me! 5 You, O LORD God, the invincible warrior, the God of Israel, rouse yourself and punish all the nations! Have no mercy on any treacherous evildoers! (Selah) 6 They return in the evening; they growl like a dog and prowl around outside the city. 7 Look, they hurl insults at me and openly threaten to kill me, for they say, |Who hears?| Psalms 59:1-7, New English Translation.
