< Psalms 59 >
1 To the choirmaster al-tashcheth of David a miktam when sent Saul and people watched the house to kill him. Deliver me from enemies my - O God my from [those who] rise up against me may you set on high me.
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.
2 Deliver me from [those who] do wickedness and from men of blood save me.
Deliuer me from the wicked doers, and saue me from the bloody men.
3 For here! they lie in wait for life my they stir up trouble on me fierce [people] not transgression my and not sin my O Yahweh.
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.
4 Not iniquity they run! and they may be established awake! to meet me and see.
They runne and prepare themselues without a fault on my part: arise therefore to assist me, and beholde.
5 And you O Yahweh God of - hosts [the] God of Israel awake! to punish all the nations may not you show favor to all [those who] act treacherously of wickedness (Selah)
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)
6 They return to evening they growl like dog so they may go around [the] city.
They goe to and from in the euening: they barke like dogs, and goe about the citie.
7 Here! - they pour forth! with mouth their swords [are] on lips their for who? [is] hearing.
Behold, they brag in their talke, and swords are in their lips: for, Who, say they, doeth heare?
8 And you O Yahweh you laugh to them you mock all [the] nations.
But thou, O Lord, shalt haue them in derision, and thou shalt laugh at all the heathen.
9 Strength his to you I will watch for God [is] refuge my.
He is strong: but I will waite vpon thee: for God is my defence.
10 [the] God of (Covenant loyalty my *Q(K)*) he will meet me God he will let look me on enemies my.
My mercifull God will preuent me: God wil let me see my desire vpon mine enemies.
11 May not you kill them - lest they should forget people my make wander about them by strength your and bring down them O shield our O Lord.
Slay them not, least my people forget it: but scatter them abroad by thy power, and put them downe, O Lord our shield,
12 [the] sin of Mouth their [the] word of lips their and let them be caught in pride their and from a curse and from lying [which] they speak.
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.
13 Make an end in anger make an end and there not [will be] them so they may know that God [is] ruling over Jacob to [the] ends of the earth (Selah)
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)
14 So they may return to evening they growl like dog so they may go around [the] city.
And in the euening they shall go to and from, and barke like dogs, and go about the citie.
15 They (they make wander about! *Q(K)*) to eat if not they are satisfied and they passed [the] night.
They shall runne here and there for meate: and surely they shall not be satisfied, though they tary all night.
16 And I - I will sing strength your so I may sing for joy to the morning covenant loyalty your for you have been a refuge of me and a place of escape on [the] day [when] it is distress to me.
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.
17 O strength my to you I will sing praises for God [is] refuge my [the] God of covenant loyalty my.
Vnto thee, O my Strength, wil I sing: for God is my defence, and my mercifull God.
