59:1 For the Chief Musician; [set to] Al-tashheth. [A Psalm] of David. Michtam; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him. Deliver me from my enemies, O my God: Set me on high from those who rise up against me.
59:2 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, And save me from the bloodthirsty men. 59:3 For, look, they lie in wait for my soul; The mighty gather themselves together against me: Not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O Yahweh. 59:4 They run and prepare themselves without [my] fault: Awake to help me, and behold. 59:5 Even you, O Yahweh God of hosts, the God of Israel, Arise to visit all the nations: Don't be merciful to any wicked betrayers. Selah. 59:6 They return at evening, they howl like a dog, And go round about the city. 59:7 Look, they gush out with their mouth; Swords are in their lips: [They say,] For who hears? 59:8 But you, O Yahweh, will laugh at them; You will have all the nations in derision. 59:9 My strength, I will give heed to you; For God is my high tower. 59:10 My God with his loving-kindness will meet me: God will let me see [my desire] on my enemies. 59:11 Don't slay them, or else my people will forget: Scatter them by your power, and bring them down, O Lord our shield. 59:12 [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. 59:13 Consume them in wrath, consume them, so that they will be no more: And let them know that God rules in Jacob, To the ends of the earth. Selah. 59:14 And at evening let them return, let them howl like a dog, And go round about the city. 59:15 They will wander up and down for food, And tarry all night if they are not satisfied. 59:16 But I will sing of your strength; Yes, I will sing aloud of your loving-kindness in the morning: For you have been my high tower, And a refuge in the day of my distress. 59:17 To you, O my strength, I will sing praises: For God is my high tower, the God of my mercy. |
