Psalm 59
Jubilee Bible 2000
To the Overcomer upon, Do not destroy, Michtam of David; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him.
1 ¶ Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; defend me from those that rise up against me.
2 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity and save me from bloodthirsty men.
3 For, behold, they lie in wait for my soul; the strong are gathered against me; I am not in rebellion, nor in sin, O LORD.
4 They run and prepare themselves when I have committed no iniquity; awake to help me and behold.
5 Thou, therefore, O LORD God of the hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the Gentiles; be not merciful to any rebellious workers of iniquity. Selah.
6 They will return at evening; they will bark like dogs and go round about outside the city.
7 Behold, they belch out with their mouth; swords are in their lips; for who, say they, doth hear?
8 ¶ But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the Gentiles in derision.
9 I will reserve his strength unto thee, for God is my defence.
10 The God of my mercy shall meet me on the way; God shall let me see my desire upon my enemies.
11 Slay them not lest my people forget; scatter them by thy power and bring them down, O Lord our shield.
12 For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips, let them even be taken in their pride; they shall be subject to weakness and to a curse.
13 Consume them in wrath, consume them that they may not be and let them know that God rules in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. Selah.
14 And at evening let them return and let them bark like dogs and go round about outside the city.
15 Let them wander up and down for food and murmur if they are not satisfied.
16 But I will sing of thy power; I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning, for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble.
17 Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing, for God is my defence and the God of my mercy.
Psalm 59
King James Version
59 Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me.
2 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men.
3 For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O Lord.
4 They run and prepare themselves without my fault: awake to help me, and behold.
5 Thou therefore, O Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah.
6 They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
7 Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, doth hear?
8 But thou, O Lord, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision.
9 Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: for God is my defence.
10 The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies.
11 Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield.
12 For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying which they speak.
13 Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be: and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. Selah.
14 And at evening let them return; and let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
15 Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be not satisfied.
16 But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble.
17 Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God is my defence, and the God of my mercy.
Psalm 59
New Century Version
A Prayer for Protection
For the director of music. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A miktam of David when Saul sent men to watch David’s house to kill him.
59 God, save me from my enemies.
Protect me from those who come against me.
2 Save me from those who do evil
and from murderers.
3 Look, they are waiting to ambush me.
Cruel people attack me,
but I have not sinned or done wrong, Lord.
4 I have done nothing wrong, but they are ready to attack me.
Wake up to help me, and look.
5 You are the Lord God All-Powerful, the God of Israel.
Arise and punish those people.
Do not give those traitors any mercy. Selah
6 They come back at night.
Like dogs they growl and roam around the city.
7 Notice what comes from their mouths.
Insults come from their lips,
because they say, “Who’s listening?”
8 But, Lord, you laugh at them;
you make fun of all of them.
9 God, my strength, I am looking to you,
because God is my defender.
10 My God loves me, and he goes in front of me.
He will help me defeat my enemies.
11 Lord, our protector, do not kill them, or my people will forget.
With your power scatter them and defeat them.
12 They sin by what they say;
they sin with their words.
They curse and tell lies,
so let their pride trap them.
13 Destroy them in your anger;
destroy them completely!
Then they will know
that God rules over Israel
and to the ends of the earth. Selah
14 They come back at night.
Like dogs they growl
and roam around the city.
15 They wander about looking for food,
and they howl if they do not find enough.
16 But I will sing about your strength.
In the morning I will sing about your love.
You are my defender,
my place of safety in times of trouble.
17 God, my strength, I will sing praises to you.
God, my defender, you are the God who loves me.
Psaltaren 59
Swedish New Living Bible (Nya Levande Bibeln)
Gud rår på mina fiender
Skriven av David när kung Saul hade satt vakter vid hans hus för att fånga och döda honom.1-2 Min Gud, rädda mig från mina fiender, skydda mig från dem som har kommit för att förgöra mig!
3 Rädda mig från dessa blodtörstiga män! Rädda mig från dessa mördare!
4 Ser du inte att de lurar på mig för att ta mitt liv. De gör allt vad de kan för att döda mig,
5 men, Herre, jag har inte gjort något som förtjänar döden. Herre, vakna! Se vad som händer!
6 Herre, du är Gud. Du är Herre över himmel och jord, och du är Israels Gud! Grip in och straffa alla främmande folk som omger oss! Skona inte dessa ogudaktiga, opålitliga män.
7 På kvällen smyger de fram och spionerar. De liknar hundar som ylande stryker omkring i staden.
8 Jag hör hur de förolämpar och förbannar dig, Gud, för de tror att ingen hör dem.
9 Men du skrattar åt dem, Herre! Du hånler åt dessa hedningar!
10 Gud, du är min styrka! Jag vill sjunga en lovsång till dig, för du ger mig den trygghet jag behöver.
11 Min Gud, du älskar mig, och du ska komma till min hjälp. Du ska låta mig få se hur mina fiender besegras.
12 Döda dem inte för då faller de lätt i glömska. Låt dem i stället irra omkring rastlösa, Herre, innan du slutligen låter dem gå under.
13-14 Dessa stolta lögnare som svär och förbannar, förgör dem i din vrede! Utplåna dem! Låt alla få reda på att Gud regerar i Israel och kommer att regera i hela världen.
15-16 Mina fiender stryker omkring i staden hela natten. De skäller och ylar som hundar som letar efter mat utan att hitta något.
17 Men varje dag vill jag sjunga högt om din makt och din barmhärtighet, för du har varit min borg, en trygg plats mitt i mina svårigheter.
18 Gud, du är min styrka. Till dig sjunger jag min lovsång. Du älskar mig, och du är för mig en säker borg.
