Keep me safe from brutal people

Psalm 59

Save me, God! Protect me
from enemy attacks!

Keep me safe from brutal people

who want to kill me.

Merciless enemies, LORD,

are hiding and plotting,

hoping to kill me.

I have not hurt them

in any way at all.

But they are ready to attack.

Do something! Help me!

Look at what's happening.

LORD God All-Powerful,

you are the God of Israel.

Punish the other nations

and don't pity those terrible

and rebellious people.

My enemies return at evening,

growling like dogs

roaming the city.

They curse and their words

cut like swords,

as they say to themselves,

"No one can hear us!"

You, LORD, laugh at them

and sneer at the nations.

You are my mighty fortress,

and I depend on you.

You love me and will let me

see my enemies defeated.

Don't kill them,

or everyone may forget!

Just use your mighty power

to make them tremble

and fall.

You are a shield

for your people.

My enemies are liars!

So let them be trapped

by their boastful lies.

Get angry and destroy them.

Leave them in ruin.

Then all the nations will know

that you rule in Israel.

Those liars return at evening,

growling like dogs

roaming the city.

They search for scraps of food,

and they snarl

until they are stuffed.

But I will sing about

your strength, my God,

and I will celebrate

because of your love.

You are my fortress,

my place of protection

in times of trouble.

I will sing your praises!

You are my mighty fortress,

and you love me.

But let the righteous be joyful

Let God rise up, let his enemies be scattered; let those who hate him flee before him. As smoke is driven away, so drive them away; as wax melts before the fire, let the wicked perish before God. But let the righteous be joyful; let them exult before God; let them be jubilant with joy. Sing to God, sing praises to his name; lift up a song to him who rides upon the clouds— his name is the LORD— be exultant before him. Psalm 68 ; 1-4 God gives the desolate a home to live in Father of orphans and protector of widows is God in his holy habitation. God gives the desolate a home to live in; he leads out the prisoners to prosperity, but the rebellious live in a parched land. Psalm 68: 5-6 The earth quaked, the heavens poured down rain O God, when you went out before your people, when you marched through the wilderness, Selah the earth quaked, the heavens poured down rain at the presence of God, the God of Sinai, at the presence of God, the God of Israel. Psalm 68: 7-8 O God, you showered abro

Every Curse In Your Life Destroyed-Joseph Prince

Galatians 3:13 13 Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”), Many believers probably know that when Jesus died, our sins were forgiven because He shed His blood. Without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness of sins. (Ephesians 1:7, Hebrews 9:22) But why did Jesus have to die on the cross, since the capital punishment of Israel during the time of Christ was stoning and not crucifixion? Jesus hung and died on the cross because He knew the law which says that “he who is hanged is accursed of God”. (Deuteronomy 21:23) He wanted to redeem us from every curse of the law, so He went to the cross, “having become a curse for us”. Jesus took all our curses at the cross, so that we can take all His blessings! The moment you received Jesus, every curse in your life was destroyed. And the way you experience this is to simply bel
