Psalm 59:2

Good News Translation

Save me from those evil people; rescue me from those murderers!

See the chapter Copy

O God, how I wish you would kill the wicked! How I wish violent people would leave me alone!

Do not destroy me with the sinners; spare me from the fate of murderers—

When evil people attack me and try to kill me, they stumble and fall.

But you, O God, will bring those murderers and liars to their graves before half their life is over. As for me, I will trust in you.

or else like a lion they will carry me off where no one can save me, and there they will tear me to pieces.

Who stood up for me against the wicked? Who took my side against the evildoers?
