Psalm chapter 58-64

Psalm 58:1  Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?
2  Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.
3  The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
4  Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;
5  Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.
6  Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O LORD.
7  Let them melt away as waters which run continually: when he bendeth his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces.
8  As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away: like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the sun.
9  Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath.
10  The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
11  So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.

Psalm 59:1  Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me.
2  Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men.
3  For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O LORD.
4  They run and prepare themselves without my fault: awake to help me, and behold.
5  Thou therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah.
6  They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
7  Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, doth hear?
8  But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision.
9  Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: for God is my defence.
10  The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies.
11  Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield.
12  For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying which they speak.
13  Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be: and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. Selah.
14  And at evening let them return; and let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
15  Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be not satisfied.
16  But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble.
17  Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God is my defence, and the God of my mercy.

Psalm 60:1 O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again.
2  Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.
3  Thou hast shewed thy people hard things: thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment.
4  Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.
5  That thy beloved may be delivered; save with thy right hand, and hear me.
6  God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
7  Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;
8  Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph thou because of me.
9  Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
10  Wilt not thou, O God, which hadst cast us off? and thou, O God, which didst not go out with our armies?
11  Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
12  Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.

Psalm 61:1  Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.
2  From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
3  For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.
4  I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.
5  For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.
6  Thou wilt prolong the king’s life: and his years as many generations.
7  He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.
8  So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.

Psalm 62:1  Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation.
2  He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.
3  How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence.
4  They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.
5  My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.
6  He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.
7  In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
8  Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.
9  Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.
10  Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.
11  God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.
12  Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work.

Psalm 63:1  O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;
2  To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.
3  Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.
4  Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.
5  My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:
6  When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.
7  Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.
8  My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.
9  But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
10  They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes.
11  But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.

Psalm 64:1  Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
2  Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:
3  Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:
4  That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
5  They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?
6  They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.
7  But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.
8  So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.
9  And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.
10  The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
