Psalm 59:3

God Our Stronghold

² Deliver me from those who do iniquity
And save me from men of bloodshed.
³ For behold, they have set an ambush for my life;
Fierce men launch an attack against me,
Not for my transgression nor for my sin, O Lord,
⁴ For no guilt of mine, they run and set themselves against me.
Arouse Yourself to help me, and see!
