58 Unto the end, destroy not, for David for an inscription of It title, when Saul sent and watched his house to kill him.

Deliver me from them that work iniquity, and save me from bloody men.

Psalm 58[a]

For the director of music. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” Of David. A miktam.[b]

    and your hands mete out violence on the earth.(C)

    from the womb they are wayward, spreading lies.
