Psalms 59:2-9 Modern English Version (MEV)

2. Deliver me from the workers of iniquity,and save me from bloodthirsty people.

3. For they lie in wait for my life;the mighty are gathered against me,not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O Lord.

4. For no guilt of mine, they run and prepare themselves.Arise to help me, and take notice.

5. You, O Lord God of Hosts, the God of Israel,awake to punish all the nations;do not be gracious to any wicked transgressors. Selah

6. They return at evening,they growl like a dog,and go around the city.

7. Indeed, they burst out with their mouth;swords are in their lips;for who listens?

8. But You, O Lord, will laugh at them;You will have all the nations in derision.

9. O my strength, I will wait on You;for God is my refuge.
