Psalms 59
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.

Tehillim (Psalms) 59
59
1Deliver me from my enemies, O my Elohim; Set me on high from those who rise up against me.
2Deliver me from the workers of wickedness, And save me from men of blood.
3For look, they have lain in wait for my life; Mighty men assemble against me, For no transgression or sin of mine, O יהוה,
4For no guilt of mine! They run and prepare themselves. Awake to help me, and see!
5And You, יהוה Elohim of hosts, Elohim of Yisra’ĕl, Awake to punish all the nations; Show no favour to any wicked traitors. Selah.
6They return at evening, They howl like a dog, And go around the city.
7See, they belch out with their mouth, Swords are in their lips, For who is listening?
8But You, יהוה, laugh at them, You mock all the nations.
9O my Strength, I wait for You; For Elohim is my strong tower.
10My Elohim of loving-commitment, Elohim does go before me. He lets me look upon my enemies.
11Do not kill them, lest my people forget; Scatter them by Your power, And bring them down, O יהוה our shield.
12The sin of their mouth is the words of their lips, And they are captured in their pride, And for the cursing and lying they utter.
13Bring them to an end in wrath, Bring them to an end, That they be no more; And let them know That Elohim is ruling in Ya‛aqoḇ To the ends of the earth. Selah.
14And at evening they return, They howl like a dog, And go around the city.
15They wander up and down for food, And whine if they are not satisfied.
16And I, I sing of Your power; And in the morning I sing aloud of Your loving-commitment; For You have been my strong tower And a refuge in the day of my distress.
17O my Strength, to You I sing praises; For Elohim is my strong tower, My Elohim of loving-commitment.
