< Psalms 59 >

1 Deliver me from my enemies, O my God. Set me on high from those who rise up against me.
לַמְנַצֵּ֣חַ אַל־תַּשְׁחֵת֮ לְדָוִ֪ד מִ֫כְתָּ֥ם בִּשְׁלֹ֥חַ שָׁא֑וּל וַֽיִּשְׁמְר֥וּ אֶת־הַ֝בַּ֗יִת לַהֲמִיתֹֽו׃ הַצִּילֵ֖נִי מֵאֹיְבַ֥י ׀ אֱלֹהָ֑י מִּמִתְקֹומְמַ֥י תְּשַׂגְּבֵֽנִי׃
2 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from the bloodthirsty men.
הַ֭צִּילֵנִי מִפֹּ֣עֲלֵי אָ֑וֶן וּֽמֵאַנְשֵׁ֥י דָ֝מִ֗ים הֹושִׁיעֵֽנִי׃
3 For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul. The mighty gather themselves together against me, not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O Jehovah.
כִּ֤י הִנֵּ֪ה אָֽרְב֡וּ לְנַפְשִׁ֗י יָג֣וּרוּ עָלַ֣י עַזִ֑ים לֹא־פִשְׁעִ֖י וְלֹא־חַטָּאתִ֣י יְהוָֽה׃
4 They run and prepare themselves without my fault. Awake thou to help me, and behold.
בְּֽלִי־עָ֭וֹן יְרוּצ֣וּן וְיִכֹּונָ֑נוּ ע֖וּרָה לִקְרָאתִ֣י וּרְאֵה׃
5 Even thou, O Jehovah God of hosts, the God of Israel, arise to visit all the nations. Be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. (Selah)
וְאַתָּ֤ה יְהוָֽה־אֱלֹהִ֥ים ׀ צְבָאֹ֡ות אֱלֹ֘הֵ֤י יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל הָקִ֗יצָה לִפְקֹ֥ד כָּֽל־הַגֹּויִ֑ם אַל־תָּחֹ֨ן כָּל־בֹּ֖גְדֵי אָ֣וֶן סֶֽלָה׃
6 They return at evening. They howl like a dog, and go round about the city.
יָשׁ֣וּבוּ לָ֭עֶרֶב יֶהֱמ֥וּ כַכָּ֗לֶב וִיסֹ֥ובְבוּ עִֽיר׃
7 Behold, they belch out with their mouth. Swords are in their lips, for they say, Who hears?
הִנֵּ֤ה ׀ יַבִּ֘יע֤וּן בְּפִיהֶ֗ם חֲ֭רָבֹות בְּשִׂפְתֹותֵיהֶ֑ם כִּי־מִ֥י שֹׁמֵֽעַ׃
8 But thou, O Jehovah, will laugh at them. Thou will have all the nations in derision.
וְאַתָּ֣ה יְ֭הוָה תִּשְׂחַק־לָ֑מֹו תִּ֝לְעַ֗ג לְכָל־גֹּויִֽם׃
9 O my strength, I will give heed to thee, for God is my high tower.
עֻ֭זֹּו אֵלֶ֣יךָ אֶשְׁמֹ֑רָה כִּֽי־אֱ֝לֹהִ֗ים מִשְׂגַּבִּֽי׃
10 My God with his loving kindness will meet me. God will let me look upon my enemies.
אֱלֹהֵ֣י חַסְדֹּו (חַסְדִּ֣י) יְקַדְּמֵ֑נִי אֱ֝לֹהִ֗ים יַרְאֵ֥נִי בְשֹׁרְרָֽי׃
11 Kill them not, lest my people forget. Scatter them by thy power, and bring them down, O Lord our shield,
אַל־תַּהַרְגֵ֤ם ׀ פֶּֽן־יִשְׁכְּח֬וּ עַמִּ֗י הֲנִיעֵ֣מֹו בְ֭חֵילְךָ וְהֹורִידֵ֑מֹו מָֽגִנֵּ֣נוּ אֲדֹנָֽי׃
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.
חַטַּאת־פִּ֗ימֹו דְּֽבַר־שְׂפָ֫תֵ֥ימֹו וְיִלָּכְד֥וּ בִגְאֹונָ֑ם וּמֵאָלָ֖ה וּמִכַּ֣חַשׁ יְסַפֵּֽרוּ׃
13 Consume them in wrath, consume them, so that they shall be no more. And let them know that God rules in Jacob, to the ends of the earth. (Selah)
כַּלֵּ֥ה בְחֵמָה֮ כַּלֵּ֪ה וְֽאֵ֫ינֵ֥מֹו וְֽיֵדְע֗וּ כִּֽי־אֱ֭לֹהִים מֹשֵׁ֣ל בְּיַעֲקֹ֑ב לְאַפְסֵ֖י הָאָ֣רֶץ סֶֽלָה׃
14 And at evening let them return, let them howl like a dog, and go round about the city.
וְיָשׁ֣וּבוּ לָ֭עֶרֶב יֶהֱמ֥וּ כַכָּ֗לֶב וִיסֹ֥ובְבוּ עִֽיר׃
15 They shall wander up and down for food, and tarry all night if they be not satisfied.
הֵ֭מָּה יְנוּעוּן (יְנִיע֣וּן) לֶאֱכֹ֑ל אִם־לֹ֥א יִ֝שְׂבְּע֗וּ וַיָּלִֽינוּ׃
16 But I will sing of thy strength. Yea, I will sing aloud of thy loving kindness in the morning. For thou have been my high tower, and a refuge in the day of my distress.
וַאֲנִ֤י ׀ אָשִׁ֣יר עֻזֶּךָ֮ וַאֲרַנֵּ֥ן לַבֹּ֗קֶר חַ֫סְדֶּ֥ךָ כִּֽי־הָיִ֣יתָ מִשְׂגָּ֣ב לִ֑י וּ֝מָנֹ֗וס בְּיֹ֣ום צַר־לִֽי׃
17 To thee, O my strength, I will sing praises. For God is my high tower, the God of my mercy.
עֻ֭זִּי אֵלֶ֣יךָ אֲזַמֵּ֑רָה כִּֽי־אֱלֹהִ֥ים מִ֝שְׂגַּבִּ֗י אֱלֹהֵ֥י חַסְדִּֽי׃
