Psalms 59

PSALM 59
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
To the chief Musician, Al-taschith,
Michtam of David; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him.
1My God, deliver me from those
that are mine enemies;
And do thou me defend from those
that up against me rise.
2Do thou deliver me from them
that work iniquity;
And give me safety from the men
of bloody cruelty.
3For, lo, they for my soul lay wait:
the mighty do combine
Against me, Lord; not for my fault,
nor any sin of mine.
4They run, and, without fault in me,
themselves do ready make:
Awake to meet me with thy help;
and do thou notice take.
5Awake therefore, Lord God of hosts,
thou God of Israel,
To visit heathen all: spare none
that wickedly rebel.
6At ev'ning they go to and fro;
they make great noise and sound,
Like to a dog, and often walk
about the city round.
7Behold, they belch out with their mouth,
and in their lips are swords:
For they do say thus, Who is he
that now doth hear our words?
8But thou, O Lord, shalt laugh at them,
and all the heathen mock.
9While he's in pow'r I'll wait on thee;
for God is my high rock.
10He of my mercy that is God
betimes shall me prevent;
Upon mine en'mies God shall let
me see mine heart's content.
11Them slay not, lest my folk forget;
but scatter them abroad
By thy strong pow'r; and bring them down,
O thou our shield and God.
12For 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.
13In 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.
14At ev'ning let thou them return,
making great noise and sound,
Like to a dog, and often walk
about the city round.
15And let them wander up and down,
in seeking food to eat;
And let them grudge when they shall not
be satisfy'd with meat.
16But of thy pow'r I'll sing aloud;
at morn thy mercy praise:
For thou to me my refuge wast,
and tow'r, in troublous days.
17O God, thou art my strength, I will
sing praises unto thee;
For God is my defence, a God
of mercy unto me.

Psalms 59
59
To the Heavenly Worship Leader, Al-Tashkhet [do not destroy], Mikhtam [meaning disputed] of David [Beloved]; when Sha’ul [Desired] sent, and they watched the house to kill him.
1Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]: defend me from them that rise up against me.
2Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men.
3For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not [for] my transgression, nor [for] my sin, O Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate].
4They run and prepare themselves without [my] fault: awake to help me, and behold.
5youi therefore, O Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies], the God-Elohe (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel of God], awake to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah [stop and diligently consider what was just said].
6They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
7Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords [are] in their lips: for who, [say they], does hear?
8But youi, O Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate], shall laugh at them; youi shall have all the heathen in ridicule (laughing at enemies’ threats).
9 [Because of] his strength will I wait upon youi: for God-Elōhīm Mis’nabi [The Living Word I My Fortress].
10The God-Elohe Khasdi [The Living Word of God of My Mercy] shall prevent (come before; go before; anticipate) me: God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] shall let me see [my desire] upon mine enemies.
11Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by youri power; and bring them down, O Lord-Adonai (The Father) [Greatest Above All Things] our shield.
12 [For] the sin of their mouth [and] the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying [which] they speak.
13Consume [them] in wrath, consume [them], that they [may] not [be]: and let them know that God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] rules in Ya’akov [Heel of God] unto the ends of the earth. Selah [stop and diligently consider what was just said].
14And at evening let them return; [and] let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
15Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be not satisfied.
16But I will sing of youri power; yea, I will sing aloud of youri mercy in the morning: for youi have been my defense and refuge in the day of my trouble.
17Unto youi, O my strength, will I sing: for God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] [is] my defense, [and] the God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of my mercy.
