Psalm 59:3-5
1599 Geneva Bible
3 For lo, they have laid wait for my soul; the mighty men are gathered against me, not for mine [a]offense, nor for my sin, O Lord.
4 They run and prepare themselves without a fault on my part: arise therefore to assist me, and behold.
5 Even thou, O Lord God of hosts, O God of Israel, awake to visit all the heathen, and be not [b]merciful unto all that transgress maliciously. Selah.
