Psalm 59
Modern English Version
Psalm 59
For the Music Director. To the melody of “Do Not Destroy.” A Miktam of David, when Saul sent men, and they watched the house to kill him.
1 Deliver me from my enemies, O my God;
give me refuge from those who rise up against me.
2 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity,
and save me from bloodthirsty people.
3 For they lie in wait for my life;
the mighty are gathered against me,
not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O Lord.
4 For no guilt of mine, they run and prepare themselves.
Arise to help me, and take notice.
5 You, O Lord God of Hosts, the God of Israel,
awake to punish all the nations;
do not be gracious to any wicked transgressors. Selah
6 They return at evening,
they growl like a dog,
and go around the city.
7 Indeed, they burst out with their mouth;
swords are in their lips;
for who listens?
8 But You, O Lord, will laugh at them;
You will have all the nations in derision.
9 O my strength, I will wait on You;
for God is my refuge.
10 The God of lovingkindness will go before me;
God will cause me to look in triumph 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 For the sin of their mouth
and the words of their lips,
may they be snared by their pride,
and because of curses and lies that they speak.
13 Consume them in wrath,
consume them so they no longer exist;
and let them know that God rules in Jacob
to the ends of the earth. Selah
14 At evening they return,
and growl like a dog,
and go around the city.
15 They roam about to eat,
and if they are not satisfied, they complain.
16 But I will sing of Your power;
I will sing aloud of Your lovingkindness in the morning,
for You have been my refuge
and escape in the day of my trouble.
17 To You, O my strength, I will sing,
for God is my refuge, and the God of my lovingkindness.

Psalm 59
To the chief Musician, Al-taschith, Michtam of David; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him.
1 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.

Oración pidiendo ser librado de los enemigos
Al músico principal; sobre No destruyas. Mictam de David, cuando Saúl ordenó que vigilaran la casa de David para matarlo.(A)
59 Líbrame de mis enemigos, oh Dios mío;
Ponme a salvo de los que se levantan contra mí.
2 Líbrame de los que cometen iniquidad,
Y sálvame de hombres sanguinarios.
3 Porque he aquí están acechando mi vida;
Se han juntado contra mí poderosos.
No por falta mía, ni pecado mío, oh Jehová;
4 Sin delito mío corren y se aperciben.
Despierta para venir a mi encuentro, y mira.
5 Y tú, Jehová Dios de los ejércitos, Dios de Israel,
Despierta para castigar a todas las naciones;
No tengas misericordia de todos los que se rebelan con iniquidad. Selah
6 Volverán a la tarde, ladrarán como perros,
Y rodearán la ciudad.
7 He aquí proferirán con su boca;
Espadas hay en sus labios,
Porque dicen: ¿Quién oye?
8 Mas tú, Jehová, te reirás de ellos;
Te burlarás de todas las naciones.
9 A causa del poder del enemigo esperaré en ti,
Porque Dios es mi defensa.
10 El Dios de mi misericordia irá delante de mí;
Dios hará que vea en mis enemigos mi deseo.
11 No los mates, para que mi pueblo no olvide;
Dispérsalos con tu poder, y abátelos,
Oh Jehová, escudo nuestro.
12 Por el pecado de su boca, por la palabra de sus labios,
Sean ellos presos en su soberbia,
Y por la maldición y mentira que profieren.
13 Acábalos con furor, acábalos, para que no sean;
Y sépase que Dios gobierna en Jacob
Hasta los fines de la tierra. Selah
14 Vuelvan, pues, a la tarde, y ladren como perros,
Y rodeen la ciudad.
15 Anden ellos errantes para hallar qué comer;
Y si no se sacian, pasen la noche quejándose.
16 Pero yo cantaré de tu poder,
Y alabaré de mañana tu misericordia;
Porque has sido mi amparo
Y refugio en el día de mi angustia.
17 Fortaleza mía, a ti cantaré;
Porque eres, oh Dios, mi refugio, el Dios de mi misericordia.

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.
