< Psalms 59 >

1 To him that excelleth. Destroy not. A Psalme of David on Michtam. When Saul sent and they did watch the house to kill him. O my God, deliuer mee from mine enemies: defend me from them that rise vp against me.
לַמְנַצֵּ֣חַ אַל־תַּשְׁחֵת֮ לְדָוִ֪ד מִ֫כְתָּ֥ם בִּשְׁלֹ֥חַ שָׁא֑וּל וַֽיִּשְׁמְר֥וּ אֶת־הַ֝בַּ֗יִת לַהֲמִיתֹֽו׃ הַצִּילֵ֖נִי מֵאֹיְבַ֥י ׀ אֱלֹהָ֑י מִּמִתְקֹומְמַ֥י תְּשַׂגְּבֵֽנִי׃
2 Deliuer me from the wicked doers, and saue me from the bloody men.
הַ֭צִּילֵנִי מִפֹּ֣עֲלֵי אָ֑וֶן וּֽמֵאַנְשֵׁ֥י דָ֝מִ֗ים הֹושִׁיעֵֽנִי׃
3 For loe, they haue layd waite for my soule: the mightie men are gathered against me, not for mine offence, nor for my sinne, O Lord.
כִּ֤י הִנֵּ֪ה אָֽרְב֡וּ לְנַפְשִׁ֗י יָג֣וּרוּ עָלַ֣י עַזִ֑ים לֹא־פִשְׁעִ֖י וְלֹא־חַטָּאתִ֣י יְהוָֽה׃
4 They runne and prepare themselues without a fault on my part: arise therefore to assist me, and beholde.
בְּֽלִי־עָ֭וֹן יְרוּצ֣וּן וְיִכֹּונָ֑נוּ ע֖וּרָה לִקְרָאתִ֣י וּרְאֵה׃
5 Euen thou, O Lord God of hostes, O God of Israel awake to visit all the heathen, and be not merciful vnto all that transgresse maliciously. (Selah)
וְאַתָּ֤ה יְהוָֽה־אֱלֹהִ֥ים ׀ צְבָאֹ֡ות אֱלֹ֘הֵ֤י יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל הָקִ֗יצָה לִפְקֹ֥ד כָּֽל־הַגֹּויִ֑ם אַל־תָּחֹ֨ן כָּל־בֹּ֖גְדֵי אָ֣וֶן סֶֽלָה׃
6 They goe to and from in the euening: they barke like dogs, and goe about the citie.
יָשׁ֣וּבוּ לָ֭עֶרֶב יֶהֱמ֥וּ כַכָּ֗לֶב וִיסֹ֥ובְבוּ עִֽיר׃
7 Behold, they brag in their talke, and swords are in their lips: for, Who, say they, doeth heare?
הִנֵּ֤ה ׀ יַבִּ֘יע֤וּן בְּפִיהֶ֗ם חֲ֭רָבֹות בְּשִׂפְתֹותֵיהֶ֑ם כִּי־מִ֥י שֹׁמֵֽעַ׃
8 But thou, O Lord, shalt haue them in derision, and thou shalt laugh at all the heathen.
וְאַתָּ֣ה יְ֭הוָה תִּשְׂחַק־לָ֑מֹו תִּ֝לְעַ֗ג לְכָל־גֹּויִֽם׃
9 He is strong: but I will waite vpon thee: for God is my defence.
עֻ֭זֹּו אֵלֶ֣יךָ אֶשְׁמֹ֑רָה כִּֽי־אֱ֝לֹהִ֗ים מִשְׂגַּבִּֽי׃
10 My mercifull God will preuent me: God wil let me see my desire vpon mine enemies.
אֱלֹהֵ֣י חַסְדֹּו (חַסְדִּ֣י) יְקַדְּמֵ֑נִי אֱ֝לֹהִ֗ים יַרְאֵ֥נִי בְשֹׁרְרָֽי׃
11 Slay them not, least my people forget it: but scatter them abroad by thy power, and put them downe, O Lord our shield,
אַל־תַּהַרְגֵ֤ם ׀ פֶּֽן־יִשְׁכְּח֬וּ עַמִּ֗י הֲנִיעֵ֣מֹו בְ֭חֵילְךָ וְהֹורִידֵ֑מֹו מָֽגִנֵּ֣נוּ אֲדֹנָֽי׃
12 For the sinne of their mouth, and the words of their lips: and let them be taken in their pride, euen for their periurie and lies, that they speake.
חַטַּאת־פִּ֗ימֹו דְּֽבַר־שְׂפָ֫תֵ֥ימֹו וְיִלָּכְד֥וּ בִגְאֹונָ֑ם וּמֵאָלָ֖ה וּמִכַּ֣חַשׁ יְסַפֵּֽרוּ׃
13 Consume them in thy wrath: consume them that they be no more: and let them knowe that God ruleth in Iaakob, euen vnto the ends of the world. (Selah)
כַּלֵּ֥ה בְחֵמָה֮ כַּלֵּ֪ה וְֽאֵ֫ינֵ֥מֹו וְֽיֵדְע֗וּ כִּֽי־אֱ֭לֹהִים מֹשֵׁ֣ל בְּיַעֲקֹ֑ב לְאַפְסֵ֖י הָאָ֣רֶץ סֶֽלָה׃
14 And in the euening they shall go to and from, and barke like dogs, and go about the citie.
וְיָשׁ֣וּבוּ לָ֭עֶרֶב יֶהֱמ֥וּ כַכָּ֗לֶב וִיסֹ֥ובְבוּ עִֽיר׃
15 They shall runne here and there for meate: and surely they shall not be satisfied, though they tary all night.
הֵ֭מָּה יְנוּעוּן (יְנִיע֣וּן) לֶאֱכֹ֑ל אִם־לֹ֥א יִ֝שְׂבְּע֗וּ וַיָּלִֽינוּ׃
16 But I wil sing of thy power, and will prayse thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast bene my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble.
וַאֲנִ֤י ׀ אָשִׁ֣יר עֻזֶּךָ֮ וַאֲרַנֵּ֥ן לַבֹּ֗קֶר חַ֫סְדֶּ֥ךָ כִּֽי־הָיִ֣יתָ מִשְׂגָּ֣ב לִ֑י וּ֝מָנֹ֗וס בְּיֹ֣ום צַר־לִֽי׃
17 Vnto thee, O my Strength, wil I sing: for God is my defence, and my mercifull God.
עֻ֭זִּי אֵלֶ֣יךָ אֲזַמֵּ֑רָה כִּֽי־אֱלֹהִ֥ים מִ֝שְׂגַּבִּ֗י אֱלֹהֵ֥י חַסְדִּֽי׃
