Psalms of David - Modern Translation - Psalm 59

Rescue me, O my God, from those who seek harm,
shield me from those who act with cruelty.

See how they wait in the shadows,
plotting trouble though I have done no wrong.

But You, O Lord, laugh at their schemes,
for no plan stands against Your wisdom.

You are my strength, my refuge, my safe place.

I will wait for You, for You are faithful.

Each morning, I will sing of Your love,
for You have been my shelter in the storm,
a place of safety when the night was dark.

O my Strength, I will lift up my voice to You!

For You are my fortress,
the One whose love never fails.
