Howl (Psalm 59)

from Cry No Peace by Tarblossom

lyrics

My God, deliver me from those
That are mine enemies;
Do thou me defend from those
That up against me rise.

Do thou deliver me from them
That work iniquity;
Give me safety from the men
Of bloody cruelty.

Lo, they for my soul lay wait:
The mighty do combine
Against me not for my fault,
Nor any sin of mine.
r
They run, and, without fault in me,
Themselves ready make:
Awake to meet me with thy help;
Do thou notice take.

Behold, they gnash out with their mouths,
And in their lips are swords:
They do say thus, Who is he
That now doth hear our words?

Awake O Lord God of hosts,
Thou God of Israel,
To visit heathen all: spare none
That wickedly rebel.

At evening they go to and fro;
They make great noise and howl,
Like a dog, and in
The city they prowl

Thou, Lord, shall laugh at them,
And all the heathen mock.
While they’re in power I'll wait on thee;
God my high rock.

For their mouth's sin, and for the words
That from their lips do fly,
Let them be taken in their pride;
Because they curse and lie.

In wrath consume them, them consume,
That so they may not be:
And that in Jacob God doth rule
To th' earth's ends let them see.

He of my mercy that is God
Betimes shall me prevent;
Upon mine enemies God shall let
Me see mine heart's content.

Them slay not, lest my folk forget;
But scatter them abroad
By thy strong power; and bring them down,
O thou our shield and God.

And let them wander up and down,
In seeking food to eat;
And let them grudge when they shall not
Be satisfied with meat.

O God, thou art my strength, I will
Sing praises unto thee;
For God is my defense, a God
Of mercy unto me.

At evening they go to and fro;
They make great noise and howl,
Like a dog, and in
The city they prowl

But of thy power I will sing;
At morn thy mercy praise:
For thou to me a refuge was,
In troubled days.

Tarblossom Turin, Italy

Tarblossom is the musical project of Jonathan Kleis, an electro-roots rock that mixes the fire of an Old Testament prophet with the fury of a Flannery O'Connor story. The inspiration behind Tarblossom can be found in the earthy grit of old-time Americana, the swampy spank of Delta bottleneck, and the pulsing ambience of modern electronica as a contemporary setting for ancient texts. ... more
