| Psa. 59:1 |
Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; / Set me on high, [secure] from those who rise up against me. |
| Psa. 59:2 |
Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, / And save me from men of bloodshed. |
| Psa. 59:3 |
For behold, they lie in wait for my soul; / The strong gather themselves against me. / Not because of any transgression of mine nor because of any sin of / mine, O Jehovah, |
| Psa. 59:4 |
Not for any fault [of mine,] they run and ready themselves; / Awake to meet me, and see. |
| Psa. 59:5 |
Indeed You, O Jehovah, God of hosts, God of Israel, / Arise to punish all the nations; / Have no mercy upon any who treacherously commit iniquity. Selah |
| Psa. 59:6 |
They return in the evening; / They growl like a dog / And go around the city. |
| Psa. 59:7 |
Behold, they belch forth with their mouth; / Swords are in their lips; / For, Who, [they say,] hears? |
| Psa. 59:8 |
But You, O Jehovah, laugh at them; / You have all the nations in derision. |
| Psa. 59:9 |
O my strength, I will watch for You; / For God is my high retreat. |
| Psa. 59:10 |
My God in His lovingkindness will meet me; / God will let me look [triumphantly] upon those who lie in wait for me. |
| Psa. 59:11 |
Do not slay them, lest my people forget; / Scatter them by Your power, and bring them down, / O Lord our shield. |
| Psa. 59:12 |
For the sin of their mouth, / For the word of their lips, / Let them even be taken in their arrogance, / And because of the cursing and the lying that they speak. |
| Psa. 59:13 |
Consume [them] in wrath; consume [them] so that they are no more; / And [men] will know that God rules in Jacob / Unto the ends of the earth. Selah |
| Psa. 59:14 |
They return in the evening; / They growl like a dog / And go around the city. |
| Psa. 59:15 |
They wander about for food; / And if they are not filled, they linger. |
| Psa. 59:16 |
But I will sing of Your strength; / And I will joyfully sing of Your lovingkindness in the morning. / For You have been my high retreat / And a refuge in the day of my distress. |
| Psa. 59:17 |
O my strength, unto You I will sing psalms, / For God is my high retreat, / My God of lovingkindness. |
