Psalms 59
1 “To the chief musician, Al-tashcheth, by David, a Michtham, when Saul sent, and they watched the house to put him to death.” Deliver me from my enemies, O my God: defend me 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 wickedness, and from men of blood do thou save me.
| הַצִּילֵנִי מִפֹּעֲלֵי אָוֶן וּֽמֵאַנְשֵׁי דָמִים הֽוֹשִׁיעֵֽנִי׃ |
3 For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul, the mighty are gathered in troops 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 guilt [in me] they run and make themselves ready: awake, [come] toward me, and behold.
| בְּֽלִי־עָוֺן יְרֻצוּן וְיִכּוֹנָנוּ עוּרָה לִקְרָאתִי וּרְאֵֽה׃ |
5 And thou, O Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to punish all the nations: be not gracious to any treacherous wicked one. (Selah)
| וְאַתָּה יְהֹוָֽה־אֱלֹהִים ׀ צְבָאוֹת אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל הָקִיצָה לִפְקֹד כׇּֽל־הַגּוֹיִם אַל־תָּחֹן כׇּל־בֹּגְדֵי אָוֶן סֶֽלָה׃ |
6 They will return at evening; they will howl like dogs, and go round about the city.
| יָשׁוּבוּ לָעֶרֶב יֶהֱמוּ כַכָּלֶב וִיסוֹבְבוּ עִֽיר׃ |
7 Behold, they sputter with their mouth: swords are in their lips; for who, [say they, ] doth hear?
| הִנֵּה ׀ יַבִּיעוּן בְּפִיהֶם חֲרָבוֹת בְּשִׂפְתֽוֹתֵיהֶם כִּי־מִי שֹׁמֵֽעַ׃ |
8 But thou, O Lord, wilt laugh at theme: thou wilt hold in derision all the nations.
| וְאַתָּה יְהֹוָה תִּשְׂחַק־לָמוֹ תִּלְעַג לְכׇל־גּוֹיִֽם׃ |
9 Because of [the enemy's] strength will I wait upon thee; for God is my defence.
| עֻזּוֹ אֵלֶיךָ אֶשְׁמֹרָה כִּֽי־אֱלֹהִים מִשְׂגַּבִּֽי׃ |
10 The God who showeth me kindness will go before me: God will let me see [my desire] upon those who regard me with envy.
| אֱלֹהֵי (חסדו) [חַסְדִּי] יְקַדְּמֵנִי אֱלֹהִים יַרְאֵנִי בְשֹׁרְרָֽי׃ |
11 Slay them not, that my people may not forget: drive them about by thy power; and bring them down, thou our shield, O Lord.
| אַל־תַּהַרְגֵם ׀ פֶּֽן־יִשְׁכְּחוּ עַמִּי הֲנִיעֵמוֹ בְחֵילְךָ וְהוֹרִידֵמוֹ מָגִנֵּנוּ אֲדֹנָֽי׃ |
12 The sin of their mouth is the word of their lips: let them be caught through their pride, because of the cursing and lying which they relate.
| חַטַּאת־פִּימוֹ דְּֽבַר־שְׂפָתֵימוֹ וְיִלָּכְדוּ בִגְאוֹנָם וּמֵאָלָה וּמִכַּחַשׁ יְסַפֵּֽרוּ׃ |
13 Make an end in fury, make an end [of them], that they my be no more, and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob, as far as the ends of the earth. (Selah)
| כַּלֵּה בְחֵמָה כַּלֵּה וְֽאֵינֵמוֹ וְֽיֵדְעוּ כִּֽי־אֱלֹהִים מֹשֵׁל בְּֽיַעֲקֹב לְאַפְסֵי הָאָרֶץ סֶֽלָה׃ |
14 And they will return in the evening; they will howl like dogs, and go round about the city.
| וְיָשֻׁבוּ לָעֶרֶב יֶהֱמוּ כַכָּלֶב וִיסוֹבְבוּ עִֽיר׃ |
15 They will indeed roam about after something to eat, if they be not satisfied, so that they can be at rest.
| הֵמָּה (ינועון) [יְנִיעוּן] לֶאֱכֹל אִם־לֹא יִשְׂבְּעוּ וַיָּלִֽינוּ׃ |
16 But I will truly sing of thy strength; yea, I will sing joyfully in the morning of thy kindness; for thou hast been a defence unto me and a refuge on the day when I was distressed.
| וַאֲנִי ׀ אָשִׁיר עֻזֶּךָ וַאֲרַנֵּן לַבֹּקֶר חַסְדֶּךָ כִּֽי־הָיִיתָ מִשְׂגָּב לִי וּמָנוֹס בְּיוֹם צַר־לִֽי׃ |
17 Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing; for God is my defence, the God of my kindness.
| עֻזִּי אֵלֶיךָ אֲזַמֵּרָה כִּֽי־אֱלֹהִים מִשְׂגַּבִּי אֱלֹהֵי חַסְדִּֽי׃ |
