Psalm 59
(English translation got from website: https://www.chabad.org/library/bible_cdo
Exept for verse 4 which follows the translation of New International Version (NIV) )
- For the conductor, al tashcheth; of David a michtam, when Saul sent and they guarded the house to slay him.
- Save me from my enemies, my God; strengthen me against those who rise up against me.
- Save me from workers of iniquity, and rescue me from bloodthirsty men.
- See how they lie in wait for me! Fierce men conspire against me for no offense or sin of mine, Lord.
- Without iniquity, they run and prepare themselves; awaken towards me and see.
- And You, O Lord, God of Hosts, God of Israel, arise to visit upon all the nations; be not gracious to any treacherous workers of iniquity forever.
- They return in the evening, they howl like a dog and encircle the city.
- Behold, they spew forth with their mouth; [they have] swords in their lips, for who hears?
- But You, O Lord, will scoff at them; You will mock all the nations.
- [Because of] his strength, I hope for You, for God is my fortress.
- The God of my kindness will precede me; God will allow me to see in those who watch me.
- Do not kill them, lest my people forget; remove them from their possessions with Your power and bring them down, O Lord our Shield.
- The sin of their mouth is the word of their lips, and they will be seized because of their haughtiness, because of the curse and the lies that they tell.
- Destroy [them] with wrath so that they will be no longer, and they will know that God rules over Jacob to the ends of the earth forever.
- And they will return in the evening, they will howl like dogs, and they will encircle the city.
- They will roam about to eat if they are not sated, so that they will lodge.
- And I will sing of Your power, and I will sing praises of Your kindness in the morning, for You were my stronghold and a refuge on a day that I was in straits.
- My strength! To You will I sing for God is my stronghold, O God of my kindness.
