Psalm 59
EasyEnglish Bible
This is for the music leader, and he should use special music.
David wrote this prayer when King Saul sent men to catch David at his house and murder him.
A prayer[a]
59 My God, please save me from my enemies!
They are attacking me,
so please keep me safe from them.
2 Rescue me from those dangerous men,
who are doing evil things.
3 Look at them! They are waiting to kill me!
Cruel men are ready to attack me.
Lord, I have not done anything against them,
but they still want to kill me.
4 I have done nothing that is wrong,
but they are preparing to attack me.
Do something to help me!
Look at what they are doing!
5 For you are the Lord God Almighty,
the God that Israel serves.
Get up and punish all the foreign nations.
Do not forgive any wicked people
who have turned against us.
Selah.
6 Those bad people come back to the city every evening.
They go from place to place,
and they cry out like dogs.
7 They shout evil things,
and their words hurt like swords.
They think, ‘Nobody can hear what we say!’
8 But Lord, you laugh at them.
You laugh at all the foreign nations.
9 I will wait for you to help me,
because you are the one who gives me strength.
You, God, are the strong place
where I will be safe.
10 Yes God, you love me with a faithful love,
and you will come to help me.
God will let me see that he has won against my enemies.
11 Do not kill them yet,
or my people will soon forget.
Use your power to send them away without homes.
Then make them fall!
You are our Lord
who keeps us safe like a soldier's shield.
12 They speak bad words that are evil.
Let their own pride catch them in a trap,
because they curse people,
and they tell lies.
13 Because you are angry with them,
destroy them!
Destroy them completely,
so that they are no more.
Then everybody will know that God rules in Israel,
and he rules everywhere in the earth.
Selah.
14 Those bad people come back to the city every evening.
They go from place to place,
and they cry out like dogs.
15 They go from place to place
and they look for food to eat.
They will not rest until they are full.
16 But I will sing to praise you.
I will sing about your strength!
In the morning,
I will praise you for your faithful love.
Because you are the strong place where I can hide.
When I am in trouble,
you keep me safe.
17 You are the one who gives me strength.
I will sing songs to praise you.
You, God, are my strong, safe place.
You are the God who loves me with a faithful love.

Al director musical. Sígase la tonada de «No destruyas». Mictam de David, cuando Saúl había ordenado que vigilaran la casa de David con el propósito de matarlo.
59 Líbrame de mis enemigos, oh Dios;
protégeme de los que me atacan.
2 Líbrame de los malhechores;
sálvame de los asesinos.
3 ¡Mira cómo me acechan!
Hombres crueles conspiran contra mí
sin que yo, Señor, haya delinquido ni pecado.
4 Presurosos se disponen a atacarme
sin que yo haya cometido mal alguno.
¡Levántate y ven en mi ayuda!
¡Mira mi condición!
5 Tú, Señor, eres el Dios de los Ejércitos,
eres el Dios de Israel.
¡Despiértate y castiga a todas las naciones;
no tengas compasión de esos malvados traidores! Selah
6 Porque ellos vuelven al atardecer,
aúllan como perros
y merodean la ciudad.
7 Echan espuma por la boca,
lanzan espadas por sus fauces
y dicen: «¿Quién va a oírnos?».
8 Pero tú, Señor, te ríes de ellos;
te burlas de todas las naciones.
9 A ti, fortaleza mía, vuelvo los ojos,
pues tú, oh Dios, eres mi refugio.
10 Tú eres el Dios en quien puedo confiar.
Tú irás delante de mí
para hacerme ver la derrota de mis enemigos.
11 Pero no los mates,
para que mi pueblo no lo olvide.
Zarandéalos con tu poder; ¡humíllalos!
¡Tú, Señor, eres nuestro escudo!
12 Por los pecados de su boca,
por las palabras de sus labios,
que caigan en la trampa de su orgullo.
Por las maldiciones y mentiras que profieren,
13 consúmelos en tu enojo;
¡consúmelos hasta que dejen de existir!
Así todos sabrán que Dios gobierna en Jacob
y hasta los confines de la tierra. Selah
14 Porque ellos vuelven al atardecer,
aúllan como perros
y merodean la ciudad.
15 Van de un lado a otro buscando comida,
y aúllan si no quedan satisfechos.
16 Pero yo cantaré a tu poder
y por la mañana alabaré tu amor;
porque tú eres mi protector,
mi refugio en momentos de angustia.
17 A ti, fortaleza mía, te cantaré salmos,
pues tú, oh Dios, eres mi refugio.
Tú eres el Dios en quien puedo confiar.

New King James Version
The Assured Judgment of the Wicked
To the Chief Musician. Set to [a]“Do Not Destroy.” A Michtam of David (A)when Saul sent men, and they watched the house in order to kill him.
59 Deliver me from my enemies, O my God;
[b]Defend me from those who rise up against me.
2 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity,
And save me from bloodthirsty men.
3 For look, they lie in wait for my life;
(B)The mighty gather against me,
Not for my transgression nor for my sin, O Lord.
4 They run and prepare themselves through no fault of mine.
(C)Awake to help me, and behold!
5 You therefore, O Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel,
Awake to punish all the [c]nations;
Do not be merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah
6 (D)At evening they return,
They growl like a dog,
And go all around the city.
7 Indeed, they belch with their mouth;
(E)Swords are in their lips;
For they say, (F)“Who hears?”
8 But (G)You, O Lord, shall laugh at them;
You shall have all the [d]nations in derision.
9 I will wait for You, O You [e]his Strength;
(H)For God is my [f]defense.
10 [g]My God of mercy shall (I)come to meet me;
God shall let (J)me see my desire on my enemies.
11 Do not slay them, lest my people forget;
Scatter them by Your power,
And bring them down,
O Lord our shield.
12 (K)For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips,
Let them even be taken in their pride,
And for the cursing and lying which they speak.
13 (L)Consume them in wrath, consume them,
That they may not be;
And (M)let them know that God rules in Jacob
To the ends of the earth. Selah
14 And (N)at evening they return,
They growl like a dog,
And go all around the city.
15 They (O)wander up and down for food,
And [h]howl if they are not satisfied.
16 But I will sing of Your power;
Yes, I will sing aloud of Your mercy in the morning;
For You have been my defense
And refuge in the day of my trouble.
17 To You, (P)O my Strength, I will sing praises;
For God is my defense,
My God of mercy.
