Psalm 59:3-5
Evangelical Heritage Version
The Viciousness of the Enemy
3 Yes, look how they lie in ambush to take my life!
Strong men gather against me,
but it is not because I have rebelled,
not because I have sinned, O Lord.
4 I am not guilty,
yet they run to take up their positions against me.
Rise up to meet me and see!
5 You, O Lord, God of Armies, the God of Israel,
wake up and confront all the nations. Interlude
Do not show mercy to all the wicked traitors.
Psalm 59:3-5
New International Version
3 See how they lie in wait for me!
Fierce men conspire(A) against me
for no offense or sin of mine, Lord.
4 I have done no wrong,(B) yet they are ready to attack me.(C)
Arise to help me; look on my plight!(D)
5 You, Lord God Almighty,
you who are the God of Israel,(E)
rouse yourself(F) to punish all the nations;(G)
show no mercy to wicked traitors.[a](H)
