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.
Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me.
2 Deliver me from [those who] do wickedness and from men of blood save me.
Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from 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, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O Yhwh.
4 Not iniquity they run! and they may be established awake! to meet me and see.
They run and prepare themselves without my fault: awake to help me, and behold.
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)
Thou therefore, O Yhwh God of Armies, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. (Selah)
6 They return to evening they growl like dog so they may go around [the] city.
They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
7 Here! - they pour forth! with mouth their swords [are] on lips their for who? [is] hearing.
Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, doth hear?
8 And you O Yahweh you laugh to them you mock all [the] nations.
But thou, O Yhwh, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision.
9 Strength his to you I will watch for God [is] refuge my.
Because of his strength will I wait upon 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.
The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see my desire upon 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, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, 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 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.
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 wrath, consume them, that they may not be: and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. (Selah)
14 So they may return to evening they growl like dog so they may go around [the] city.
And at evening let them return; and let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
15 They (they make wander about! *Q(K)*) to eat if not they are satisfied and they passed [the] night.
Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be not satisfied.
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 will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been 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.
Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God is my defence, and the God of my mercy.
