Michtam, [a.k.a. Miktam] of David, to the chief Musician, Altaschith, when Saul sent & they watched the house to kill him. |
Psalm 59:1-17 Book# 2 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks] |
O my God, deliver me from [my] enemies & defend me from [those who] rise up against me. Deliver me from [those who work sinfully] & save me from the [bloodthirsty] men. For, [look,] they lie in wait [to ambush] my soul. The mighty are gathered against me; not for my transgression, or for my sin, O Lord. |
[Matthew 22:15-21 Then the Pharisees went & took counsel [on] how they might entangle Him in His talk. And they sent out their disciples & the Herodians to Him, saying, [Teacher,] we know that You are true & teach the way of God in truth. |
Neither [do] You [show partiality] for any man. For You [don't] regard the [status] of men. Therefore, tell us, What [do] You think? Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not? But Jesus [realized] their wickedness & said, Why [do] you hypocrites tempt Me? [Show] Me the tribute money. |
And they brought a penny to Him. And He said to them, Whose is this image & [inscription?] They said to Him, Caesar's. Then He said to them, [Give] to Caesar the things [that] are Caesar's & to God, the things that are God's.] |
Awake to help me & [see.] Without my fault, they run & prepare themselves. [2 Corinthians 5:20-21 Then, now we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did [urge] you [through] us. |
We pray [for] you [on] Christ's [behalf, so] you [are] reconciled to God. For [God] has made Him to be [the atonement of] sin for us, [Who] knew no sin, [so] that we might be made the righteousness of God [through] Him.] |
Therefore, O Lord God of Hosts, awake to visit all the heathen. God of Israel [don't] be merciful to any wicked [sinners.] Selah. They return at [night] & make a [howl] like a dog & go [around] the city. [See,] their lips are swords. With their mouths they [spew] out. They say, For who hears [us?] |
[Psalm 57:4 My soul is among the lions & I even lie among [those who] are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears & arrows & their tongues are a sharp sword.] |
O Lord, but You shall laugh at them. You shall [mock at] all the heathen. [Proverbs 1:26 Also, I will laugh at your calamity. I will mock when your [terror] comes.] I will wait on You, because of His strength: for God is my defense. My God of mercy shall [safeguard] me. |
God shall let me see my desire upon [my] enemies. [Don't kill] them, lest my people forget. Scatter them by Your power. O Lord, our Shield, bring them down. Let them be taken in their pride, for the sin of their [mouths,] the words of their lips, cursing & [saying lies.] Consume them in [anger.] |
Consume them & [make an end of] them & let them know that God rules Jacob [a.k.a. Israel,] unto the ends of the earth. Selah. [Now,] let them return at [night] & [howl] like a dog & go [around] the city. Let them wander [back & forth] for [food] & [grumble, because] they [aren't] 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 & refuge [on] the day of my trouble. I will sing to You, O my strength. For God is my defense & the God of my mercy. |
