Psalms 59
1 For the Leader; Al-tashheth. A Psalm of David; Michtam; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him. Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God; set me on high from them that rise up against me.
| לַמְנַצֵּחַ אַל־תַּשְׁחֵת לְדָוִד מִכְתָּם בִּשְׁלֹחַ שָׁאוּל וַֽיִּשְׁמְרוּ אֶת־הַבַּיִת לַהֲמִיתֽוֹ׃ הַצִּילֵנִי מֵאֹיְבַי ׀ אֱלֹהָי מִֽמִּתְקוֹמְמַי תְּשַׂגְּבֵֽנִי׃ |
2 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from the men of blood.
| הַצִּילֵנִי מִפֹּעֲלֵי אָוֶן וּֽמֵאַנְשֵׁי דָמִים הֽוֹשִׁיעֵֽנִי׃ |
3 For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul; the impudent gather themselves together against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O LORD.
| כִּי הִנֵּה אָרְבוּ לְנַפְשִׁי יָגוּרוּ עָלַי עַזִּים לֹֽא־פִשְׁעִי וְלֹא־חַטָּאתִי יְהֹוָֽה׃ |
4 Without my fault, they run and prepare themselves; awake Thou to help me, and behold.
| בְּֽלִי־עָוֺן יְרֻצוּן וְיִכּוֹנָנוּ עוּרָה לִקְרָאתִי וּרְאֵֽה׃ |
5 Thou therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, arouse Thyself to punish all the nations; show no mercy to any iniquitous traitors. (Selah)
| וְאַתָּה יְהֹוָֽה־אֱלֹהִים ׀ צְבָאוֹת אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל הָקִיצָה לִפְקֹד כׇּֽל־הַגּוֹיִם אַל־תָּחֹן כׇּל־בֹּגְדֵי אָוֶן סֶֽלָה׃ |
6 They return at evening, they howl like a dog, and go round about the city.
| יָשׁוּבוּ לָעֶרֶב יֶהֱמוּ כַכָּלֶב וִיסוֹבְבוּ עִֽיר׃ |
7 Behold, they belch out with their mouth; swords are in their lips: 'For who doth hear?'
| הִנֵּה ׀ יַבִּיעוּן בְּפִיהֶם חֲרָבוֹת בְּשִׂפְתֽוֹתֵיהֶם כִּי־מִי שֹׁמֵֽעַ׃ |
8 But Thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; Thou shalt have all the nations in derision.
| וְאַתָּה יְהֹוָה תִּשְׂחַק־לָמוֹ תִּלְעַג לְכׇל־גּוֹיִֽם׃ |
9 Because of his strength, I will wait for Thee; for God is my high tower.
| עֻזּוֹ אֵלֶיךָ אֶשְׁמֹרָה כִּֽי־אֱלֹהִים מִשְׂגַּבִּֽי׃ |
10 The God of my mercy will come to meet me; God will let me gaze upon mine adversaries.
| אֱלֹהֵי (חסדו) [חַסְדִּי] יְקַדְּמֵנִי אֱלֹהִים יַרְאֵנִי בְשֹׁרְרָֽי׃ |
11 Slay them not, lest my people forget, make them wander to and fro by Thy power, and bring them down, O Lord our shield.
| אַל־תַּהַרְגֵם ׀ פֶּֽן־יִשְׁכְּחוּ עַמִּי הֲנִיעֵמוֹ בְחֵילְךָ וְהוֹרִידֵמוֹ מָגִנֵּנוּ 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־פִּימוֹ דְּֽבַר־שְׂפָתֵימוֹ וְיִלָּכְדוּ בִגְאוֹנָם וּמֵאָלָה וּמִכַּחַשׁ יְסַפֵּֽרוּ׃ |
13 Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they be no more; and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob, unto the ends of the earth. (Selah)
| כַּלֵּה בְחֵמָה כַּלֵּה וְֽאֵינֵמוֹ וְֽיֵדְעוּ כִּֽי־אֱלֹהִים מֹשֵׁל בְּֽיַעֲקֹב לְאַפְסֵי הָאָרֶץ סֶֽלָה׃ |
14 And they return at evening, they howl like a dog, and go round about the city;
| וְיָשֻׁבוּ לָעֶרֶב יֶהֱמוּ כַכָּלֶב וִיסוֹבְבוּ עִֽיר׃ |
15 They wander up and down to devour, and tarry all night if they have not their fill.
| הֵמָּה (ינועון) [יְנִיעוּן] לֶאֱכֹל אִם־לֹא יִשְׂבְּעוּ וַיָּלִֽינוּ׃ |
16 But as for me, I will sing of Thy strength; yea, I will sing aloud of Thy mercy in the morning; for Thou hast been my high tower, and a refuge in the day of my distress.
| וַאֲנִי ׀ אָשִׁיר עֻזֶּךָ וַאֲרַנֵּן לַבֹּקֶר חַסְדֶּךָ כִּֽי־הָיִיתָ מִשְׂגָּב לִי וּמָנוֹס בְּיוֹם צַר־לִֽי׃ |
17 O my strength, unto Thee will I sing praises; for God is my high tower, the God of my mercy.
| עֻזִּי אֵלֶיךָ אֲזַמֵּרָה כִּֽי־אֱלֹהִים מִשְׂגַּבִּי אֱלֹהֵי חַסְדִּֽי׃ |
