< 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 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.
2 Deliver me from [those who] do wickedness and from men of blood save me.
Deliver me from the workers of wickedness, and from men of blood do thou save me.
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 in troops against me: not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O Lord.
4 Not iniquity they run! and they may be established awake! to meet me and see.
Without guilt [in me] they run and make themselves ready: awake, [come] toward 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)
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)
6 They return to evening they growl like dog so they may go around [the] city.
They will return at evening; they will howl like dogs, 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 sputter 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 Lord, wilt laugh at theme: thou wilt hold in derision all the nations.
9 Strength his to you I will watch for God [is] refuge my.
Because of [the enemy's] 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 who showeth me kindness will go before me: God will let me see [my desire] upon those who regard me with envy.
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, that my people may not forget: drive them about by thy power; and bring them down, thou our shield, O Lord.
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.
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.
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)
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)
14 So they may return to evening they growl like dog so they may go around [the] city.
And they will return in the evening; they will howl like dogs, 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.
They will indeed roam about after something to eat, if they be not satisfied, so that they can be at rest.
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 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.
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, the God of my kindness.
