תהילים 59
| למנצח אל-תשחת לדוד מכתם בשלח שאול וישמרו את-הבית להמיתו ב הצילני מאיבי אלהי ממתקוממי תשגבני | 1 |
God, save me from my enemies! Protect me from those who want to attack me!
| הצילני מפעלי און ומאנשי דמים הושיעני | 2 |
Rescue me from men who want to do what is wicked, men who are murderers!
| כי הנה ארבו לנפשי-- יגורו עלי עזים לא-פשעי ולא-חטאתי יהוה | 3 |
Look! They are waiting to kill me! Fierce men have gathered to assault me. Yahweh, they are doing that even though I have not done what is wrong!
| בלי-עון ירצון ויכוננו עורה לקראתי וראה | 4 |
It is not because I have committed any sin [against them] that they run and get ready to attack me.
| ואתה יהוה-אלהים צבאות אלהי ישראל-- הקיצה לפקד כל-הגוים אל-תחן כל-בגדי און סלה | 5 |
Yahweh my God, commander of the armies of heaven, the one we Israelis [worship], arise and punish the [ungodly/heathen people of] all the nations; do not be merciful to those [wicked people] who have (acted treacherously toward/secretly planned to harm) us.
| ישובו לערב יהמו ככלב ויסובבו עיר | 6 |
They return each evening, snarling like vicious dogs [SIM] as they prowl around this city.
| הנה יביעון בפיהם--חרבות בשפתותיהם כי-מי שמע | 7 |
They loudly say terrible things; they say [MTY] many things that [injure people like] [MET] swords do, but they think, “No one will [RHQ] hear us!”
| ואתה יהוה תשחק-למו תלעג לכל-גוים | 8 |
But Yahweh, you laugh at them. You (scoff at/ridicule) the [people of the pagan] nations.
| עזו אליך אשמרה כי-אלהים משגבי | 9 |
God, I have confidence in you because you are very strong; you are my refuge.
| אלהי חסדו (חסדי) יקדמני אלהים יראני בשררי | 10 |
Because you love me, you will come to save me; you will allow me to watch while you defeat my enemies.
| אל-תהרגם פן ישכחו עמי--הניעמו בחילך והורידמו מגננו אדני | 11 |
But do not kill them [immediately] in order that my people will not forget [how you punished them]! [Instead], Lord, [you who are like a] shield [that protects us] [MET], scatter them by your power, and [then] defeat them.
| חטאת-פימו דבר-שפתימו וילכדו בגאונם ומאלה ומכחש יספרו | 12 |
Because what they say [MTY] is sinful, allow them to be trapped for being proud. Because they are [always] cursing and telling lies,
| כלה בחמה כלה ואינמו וידעו--כי-אלהים משל ביעקב לאפסי הארץ סלה | 13 |
because you are angry, get rid of them; destroy them completely in order that people will know that you rule over us, your Israeli people, and that you rule over all the earth.
| וישבו לערב יהמו ככלב ויסובבו עיר | 14 |
My enemies return each evening, snarling like [vicious] dogs as they prowl around this city.
| המה ינועון (יניעון) לאכל-- אם-לא ישבעו וילינו | 15 |
They roam around, searching for food; and if they do not find enough, they growl.
| ואני אשיר עזך-- וארנן לבקר חסדך כי-היית משגב לי ומנוס ביום צר-לי | 16 |
But [as for me], I will sing about your power; [every] morning I will sing joyfully about your faithfully loving [us]. I will sing about how you protected me when I was [very] distressed.
| עזי אליך אזמרה כי-אלהים משגבי אלהי חסדי | 17 |
God, you are the one who enables me to be strong; you are my refuge; you faithfully love me.
