Psaltaren 59

Bön mot fienders försåt
59 (A) För körledaren, "Fördärva inte". En sång av David när Saul sände män för att bevaka huset och döda honom[a].
2 Rädda mig, min Gud,
från mina fiender,
beskydda mig
från mina motståndare!
3 Rädda mig från förbrytarna,
fräls mig från de blodtörstiga!
4 (B) Se hur de lurar på min själ,
mäktiga män gaddar ihop sig
mot mig
utan att jag har begått
brott eller synd, Herre.
5 (C) Jag är utan skuld,
men de rusar fram
och gör sig redo.
Vakna, kom till mig och se!
6 Herre Gud Sebaot, du Israels Gud,
vakna och ställ alla folk till svars,
skona inga trolösa förrädare!
Sela
7 De kommer tillbaka mot kvällen,
de morrar som hundar
och stryker runt i staden.
8 (D) Se vad de spyr ut med sina munnar.
De har svärd på sina läppar
och tänker: "Vem hör oss?"
9 (E) Men du, Herre, ler åt dem.
Du gör narr av alla hedningar.
10 (F) Du min styrka,
jag vill hålla mig till dig,
för du, Gud, är min borg.
11 (G) Min Gud möter mig med sin nåd,
Gud låter mig se
mina förföljares fall.
12 (H) Döda dem inte,
då kan mitt folk glömma det.
Skingra dem med din kraft,
störta dem, Herre,
du vår sköld!
13 Varje ord på deras läppar
är en synd i deras mun.
Låt dem fångas i sitt högmod
av den förbannelse och lögn
som de talar.
14 Förgör dem i vrede,
förgör dem så att de inte
finns mer!
Låt dem veta att Gud härskar
i Jakob och till jordens
yttersta ändar. Sela
15 De kommer tillbaka mot kvällen,
de morrar som hundar
och stryker runt i staden.
16 (I) De strövar omkring efter föda,
blir de inte mätta så gnyr de[b].
17 (J) Men jag ska sjunga om din makt
och jubla var morgon
över din nåd,
för du är en borg för mig,
en tillflykt när jag är i nöd.
18 Du min styrka,
jag vill lovsjunga dig,
för Gud är min borg,
min nådige Gud.

New International Version
Psalm 59[a]
For the director of music. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” Of David. A miktam.[b] When Saul had sent men to watch David’s house(A) in order to kill him.
1 Deliver me from my enemies, O God;(B)
be my fortress against those who are attacking me.(C)
2 Deliver me from evildoers(D)
and save me from those who are after my blood.(E)
3 See how they lie in wait for me!
Fierce men conspire(F) against me
for no offense or sin of mine, Lord.
4 I have done no wrong,(G) yet they are ready to attack me.(H)
Arise to help me; look on my plight!(I)
5 You, Lord God Almighty,
you who are the God of Israel,(J)
rouse yourself(K) to punish all the nations;(L)
show no mercy to wicked traitors.[c](M)
6 They return at evening,
snarling like dogs,(N)
and prowl about the city.
7 See what they spew from their mouths(O)—
the words from their lips are sharp as swords,(P)
and they think, “Who can hear us?”(Q)
8 But you laugh at them, Lord;(R)
you scoff at all those nations.(S)
9 You are my strength,(T) I watch for you;
you, God, are my fortress,(U)
10 my God on whom I can rely.
God will go before me
and will let me gloat over those who slander me.
11 But do not kill them, Lord our shield,[d](V)
or my people will forget.(W)
In your might uproot them
and bring them down.(X)
12 For the sins of their mouths,(Y)
for the words of their lips,(Z)
let them be caught in their pride.(AA)
For the curses and lies they utter,
13 consume them in your wrath,
consume them till they are no more.(AB)
Then it will be known to the ends of the earth
that God rules over Jacob.(AC)
14 They return at evening,
snarling like dogs,
and prowl about the city.
15 They wander about for food(AD)
and howl if not satisfied.
16 But I will sing(AE) of your strength,(AF)
in the morning(AG) I will sing of your love;(AH)
for you are my fortress,(AI)
my refuge in times of trouble.(AJ)
17 You are my strength, I sing praise to you;
you, God, are my fortress,
my God on whom I can rely.(AK)

Deliver Me from My Enemies
To the choirmaster: according to (A)Do Not Destroy. A (B)Miktam[a] of David, (C)when Saul sent men to watch his house in order to kill him.
59 (D)Deliver me from my enemies, O my God;
(E)protect me from those who (F)rise up against me;
2 deliver me from (G)those who work evil,
and save me from (H)bloodthirsty men.
3 For behold, they (I)lie in wait for my life;
fierce men (J)stir up strife against me.
(K)For no transgression or sin of mine, O Lord,
4 for no fault of mine, they run and make ready.
(L)Awake, come to meet me, and see!
5 You, (M)Lord God of hosts, are God of Israel.
Rouse yourself to punish all the nations;
spare none of those who treacherously plot evil. Selah
6 Each evening they (N)come back,
howling like dogs
and prowling about the city.
7 There they are, (O)bellowing with their mouths
with (P)swords in their lips—
for (Q)“Who,” they think,[b] “will hear us?”
8 But you, O Lord, (R)laugh at them;
you hold all the nations in derision.
9 O my Strength, I will watch for you,
for you, O God, are (S)my fortress.
10 (T)My God in his steadfast love[c] (U)will meet me;
God will let me (V)look in triumph on my enemies.
11 Kill them not, lest my people forget;
make them totter[d] by your power and (W)bring them down,
O Lord, our (X)shield!
12 For (Y)the sin of their mouths, the words of their lips,
let them be trapped in their pride.
For the cursing and lies that they utter,
13 (Z)consume them in wrath;
consume them till they are no more,
that they may (AA)know that God rules over Jacob
to (AB)the ends of the earth. Selah
14 (AC)Each evening they come back,
howling like dogs
and prowling about the city.
15 They (AD)wander about for food
and growl if they do not get their fill.
16 But I will sing of your strength;
I will sing aloud of your steadfast love in the morning.
For you have been to me (AE)a fortress
and (AF)a refuge in (AG)the day of my distress.
17 O my Strength, I will sing praises to you,
for you, O God, (AH)are my fortress,
(AI)the God who shows me steadfast love.
