A psalm of David, written when he fled from his son Absalom.
3:1 Lord, how
Many attack me.
25:19 Watch my enemies, for they outnumber me;
they hate me and want to harm me.
For the music director; according to the yonath-elem-rechovim style;
56:1 Have mercy on me, O God, for men are attacking me!
All day long hostile enemies
56:2 Those who anticipate my defeat
Indeed,
For the music director; according to the al-tashcheth style;
59:1 Deliver me from my enemies, my God!
Protect me
59:2 Deliver me from evildoers!
Rescue me from violent men!
59:3 For look, they wait to ambush me;
powerful men stalk
but not because I have rebelled or sinned, O Lord.
