Old Testament

New Testament

Psalms 59 New Century Version (NCV)

A Prayer for Protection

1. God, save me from my enemies.Protect me from those who come against me.

2. Save me from those who do eviland from murderers.

3. Look, they are waiting to ambush me.Cruel people attack me,but I have not sinned or done wrong, Lord.

4. I have done nothing wrong, but they are ready to attack me.Wake up to help me, and look.

5. You are the Lord God All-Powerful, the God of Israel.Arise and punish those people.Do not give those traitors any mercy. Selah

6. They come back at night.Like dogs they growl and roam around the city.

7. Notice what comes from their mouths.Insults come from their lips,because they say, “Who’s listening?”

8. But, Lord, you laugh at them;you make fun of all of them.

9. God, my strength, I am looking to you,because God is my defender.

10. My God loves me, and he goes in front of me.He will help me defeat my enemies.

11. Lord, our protector, do not kill them, or my people will forget.With your power scatter them and defeat them.

12. They sin by what they say;they sin with their words.They curse and tell lies,so let their pride trap them.

13. Destroy them in your anger;destroy them completely!Then they will knowthat God rules over Israeland to the ends of the earth.Selah

14. They come back at night.Like dogs they growland roam around the city.

15. They wander about looking for food,and they howl if they do not find enough.

16. But I will sing about your strength.In the morning I will sing about your love.You are my defender,my place of safety in times of trouble.

17. God, my strength, I will sing praises to you.God, my defender, you are the God who loves me.
