< Psalms 59 >
1 Deliver me from my enemies, O my God. Set me on high from those who rise up against me.
In finem, ne disperdas. David in tituli inscriptionem, quando misit Saul et custodivit domum ejus ut eum interficeret. Eripe me de inimicis meis, Deus meus, et ab insurgentibus in me libera me.
2 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from the bloodthirsty men.
Eripe me de operantibus iniquitatem, et de viris sanguinum salva me.
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.
Quia ecce ceperunt animam meam; irruerunt in me fortes.
4 They run and prepare themselves without my fault. Awake thou to help me, and behold.
Neque iniquitas mea, neque peccatum meum, Domine; sine iniquitate cucurri, et direxi.
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)
Exsurge in occursum meum, et vide: et tu, Domine Deus virtutum, Deus Israël, intende ad visitandas omnes gentes: non miserearis omnibus qui operantur iniquitatem.
6 They return at evening. They howl like a dog, and go round about the city.
Convertentur ad vesperam, et famem patientur ut canes: et circuibunt civitatem.
7 Behold, they belch out with their mouth. Swords are in their lips, for they say, Who hears?
Ecce loquentur in ore suo, et gladius in labiis eorum: quoniam quis audivit?
8 But thou, O Jehovah, will laugh at them. Thou will have all the nations in derision.
Et tu, Domine, deridebis eos; ad nihilum deduces omnes gentes.
9 O my strength, I will give heed to thee, for God is my high tower.
Fortitudinem meam ad te custodiam, quia, Deus, susceptor meus es:
10 My God with his loving kindness will meet me. God will let me look upon my enemies.
Deus meus misericordia ejus præveniet me.
11 Kill them not, lest my people forget. Scatter them by thy power, and bring them down, O Lord our shield,
Deus ostendet mihi super inimicos meos: ne occidas eos, nequando obliviscantur populi mei. Disperge illos in virtute tua, et depone eos, protector meus, Domine:
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.
delictum oris eorum, sermonem labiorum ipsorum; et comprehendantur in superbia sua. Et de execratione et mendacio annuntiabuntur
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)
in consummatione: in ira consummationis, et non erunt. Et scient quia Deus dominabitur Jacob, et finium terræ.
14 And at evening let them return, let them howl like a dog, and go round about the city.
Convertentur ad vesperam, et famem patientur ut canes: et circuibunt civitatem.
15 They shall wander up and down for food, and tarry all night if they be not satisfied.
Ipsi dispergentur ad manducandum; si vero non fuerint saturati, et murmurabunt.
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.
Ego autem cantabo fortitudinem tuam, et exsultabo mane misericordiam tuam: quia factus es susceptor meus, et refugium meum in die tribulationis meæ.
17 To thee, O my strength, I will sing praises. For God is my high tower, the God of my mercy.
Adjutor meus, tibi psallam, quia Deus susceptor meus es; Deus meus, misericordia mea.
