Psalm 57

1 Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me;2 I will cry unto God Most High,3 He will send from heaven, and save me,

4 My soul is among lions;5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens;6 They have prepared a net for my steps;

7 My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed:8 Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp:9 I will give thanks unto thee, O Lord, among the peoples:10 For thy lovingkindness is great unto the heavens,11 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens;

Psalm 58

1 Do ye indeed in silence speak righteousness?2 Nay, in heart ye work wickedness;3 The wicked are estranged from the womb:4 Their poison is like the poison of a serpent:5 Which hearkeneth not to the voice of charmers,6 Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth:7 Let them melt away as water that runneth apace:8 Let them be as a snail which melteth and passeth away,9 Before your pots can feel the thorns,10 The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance:11 So that men shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous:

Psalm 59

1 Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God:2 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity,3 For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul;4 They run and prepare themselves without my fault:5 Even thou, O Jehovah God of hosts, the God of Israel,

6 They return at evening, they howl like a dog,7 Behold, they belch out with their mouth;8 But thou, O Jehovah, wilt laugh at them;9 Because of his strength I will give heed unto thee;10 My God with his lovingkindness will meet me:11 Slay them not, lest my people forget:12 For the sin of their mouth, and the words of their lips,13 Consume them in wrath, consume them, so that they shall be no more:

14 And at evening let them return, let them howl like a dog,15 They shall wander up and down for food,16 But I will sing of thy strength;17 Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing praises:
