Psalm 59:5 in context

The verses around it, from Psalm 59.

1 For the choirmaster. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Miktam of David, when Saul sent men to watch David’s house in order to kill him. Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; protect me from those who rise against me.

2 Deliver me from workers of iniquity, and save me from men of bloodshed.

3 See how they lie in wait for me. Fierce men conspire against me for no transgression or sin of my own, O LORD.

4 For no fault of my own, they move swiftly to attack me. Arise to help me, and take notice.

5 O LORD God of Hosts, the God of Israel, rouse Yourself to punish all the nations; show no mercy to the wicked traitors. Selah

6 They return in the evening, snarling like dogs and prowling around the city.

7 See what they spew from their mouths—sharp words from their lips: “For who can hear us?”

8 But You, O LORD, laugh at them; You scoff at all the nations.

9 I will keep watch for You, O my strength, because You, O God, are my fortress.
