Deliver Me From My Enemies

Deliver me from my enemies, O My God;
Defend me from those who rise up against me.
Deliver me from the workers of iniquity - those who want nothing but evil,
And save me from blood-thirsty men.

Awake to help me...
Awake to punish all the nations;
Do not be merciful to any who are evil.

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

Consume them, that they may not be;
And let them know that God rules in Jacob
To the ends of the earth.

I will sing of Your power... of Your mercy in the morning...
To You, O my Strength, I will sing praises...
My God of mercy.

(From Psalm 59)
