Psalms 59:2
1 Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; protect me from those who rise against me.
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.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
