Psalm 64:1-10 Longer NKJV

Psalm 59:1-17 DELIVER me from my enemies, O my God; Defend me from those who rise up against me.

Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, And save me from bloodthirsty men.

For look, they lie in wait for my life; The mighty gather against me, Not for my transgression nor for my sin, O LORD.

They run and prepare themselves through no fault of mine. Awake to help me, and behold!

You therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, Awake to punish all the nations; Do not be merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah

At evening they return, They growl like a dog, and go all around the city.

Indeed, they belch with their mouth; swords are in their lips; For they say, "Who hears?"

But You. O LORD, shall laugh at them; You shall have all the nations in derosion.

I will wait for You, O You his Strength; For God is my defense.

My god of mercy shall come to meet me; God shall let me see my desire on my enemies.

Do not slay them, lest people forget; Scatter them by Your power, And bring them down, O LORD our shield.

For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips, Let them even be taken in their pride, And for the cursing and lying which they speak.

Consume them in wrath, consume them, That they may not be; And let them now that God rules in Jacob To the ends of the earth. Selah

And at evening they return, They growl like a dog, And go all around the city.

They wander up and down for food, And howl if they are not satisfied.

But I will sing of Your power; Yes, I will sing aloud of Your mercy in the morning; For You have been my defense And refuge in the day of my trouble.

To You, O my Strength, I will sing praises; For God is my defense, My God of mercy.

Psalm 31:9-18 Have mercy on me, O LORD, for I am in trouble; My eye wastes away with grief, Yes, my soul and my body!

For my life is spent with grief, And my years with sighing; My strength fails because of my iniquity, And my bones waste away.

I am a reproach among all my enemies, But especially among my neighbors, And am repulsive to my acquaintances; Those who see me outside flee from me.

I am forgotten like a dead man, out of mind; I am like a broken vessel,

For I hear the slander of many; Fear is on every side; While they take counsel together against me, They scheme to take away my life.

But as for me, I trust in You, O LORD; I say, "You are my God."

My times are in Your hand; Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, And from those who persecute me.

make Your face shine upon Your servant; save me for Your mercies' sake.

Do not let me be ashamed, O LORD, for I have called upon You; Let the wicked be ashamed; Let them be silent in the grave.

Let the lying lips be put to silence, Which speak insolent things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.

Jeremiah 50:28 The voice of those who flee and escape from the land of babylon Declares in Zion the vengeance of the LORD our God, The vengeance of His temple.

Psalm 32:10-11 Many sorrows shall be to the wicked; But he who trusts in the LORD, mercy shall surround him.

Be glad in the LORD and rejoice, you righteous; and shout for joy, all you upright in heart!
