Psalm 59:2

Contemporary English Version (Anglicised) 2012

Keep me safe from brutal people who want to kill me.

See the chapter Copy

How I wish that you would kill all cruel and heartless people and protect me from them!

Don't sweep me away, as you do sinners. Don't punish me with death as you do those people who are brutal

Brutal people may attack and try to kill me, but they will stumble. Fierce enemies may attack, but they will fall.

But what about those people who are cruel and brutal? You will throw them down into the deepest pit long before their time. I trust you, LORD!

Or else they will rip me apart like lions attacking a victim, and no one will save me.

Who will stand up for me against those cruel people?
