Psalms 59
To the director; do not corrupt; to David; for an inscription on a monument; when Saul sent and guarded his house to kill him.
59:1Rescue me from my enemies, O God, and ransom me from the ones rising up against me!
59:2Rescue me from the ones working lawlessness, and deliver me from men of blood!
59:3For behold, they hunted my life; strong ones put upon me; nor is it because of my lawlessness nor my sin, O lord.
59:4Without lawlessness I ran and straightened out. Awake to meet me, and see!
59:5And you, O lord, the God of the forces, God of Israel, take heed to visit all the nations! You should not pity any of the ones practicing lawlessness.
59:6They shall return at evening, and shall be famished as a dog, and shall circle the city.
59:7Behold, they shall declare with their mouths; and the broadsword is in their lips; for they say, Who hears?
59:8And you, O lord, shall laugh out loud at them; you shall treat with contempt all the nations.
59:9My might to you I will keep, for you, O God, are my shielder.
59:10My God, his mercy shall go beforehand with me. My God shall show to me my desire on my enemies.
59:11You should not kill them, lest at any time they should forget your law. Disperse them by your power, and lead them down, O lord my defender!
59:12For the sin of their mouth, and the word of their lips, even let them be seized in their pride! even for cursing and lying which they shall declare.
59:13In consummation, by anger of consummation consume, that in no way they should exist; that they shall know that God is master of Jacob, and of the ends of the earth. PAUSE.
59:14They shall return at evening, and be famished as a dog, and shall circle the city.
59:15They shall be dispersed to eat, but if they should not be filled, then they shall grumble.
59:16But I shall sing to your power, and I shall exult in the morning of your mercy; for you became my shielder and my refuge in the day of my affliction.
59:17You are my helper, to you I shall strum; for you, O God, are my shielder, my God of my mercy.
