YLT - Psalms - 59

59:1  To the Overseer. --`Destroy not,' by David. --A secret treasure, in Saul's sending, and they watch the house to put him to death. Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God, From my withstanders set me on high.

59:2  Deliver me from workers of iniquity, And from men of blood save me.

59:3  For, lo, they laid wait for my soul, Assembled against me are strong ones, Not my transgression nor my sin, O Jehovah.

59:4  Without punishment they run and prepare themselves, Stir up to meet me, and see.

59:5  And Thou, Jehovah, God of Hosts, God of Israel, Awake to inspect all the nations. Favour not any treacherous dealers of iniquity. Selah.

59:6  They turn back at evening, They make a noise like a dog, And go round about the city.

59:7  Lo, they belch out with their mouths, Swords are in their lips, for `Who heareth?'

59:8  And Thou, O Jehovah dost laugh at them, Thou dost mock at all the nations.

59:9  O my Strength, unto Thee I take heed, For God is my tower--the God of my kindness.

59:10  God doth go before me, He causeth me to look on mine enemies.

59:11  Slay them not, lest my people forget, Shake them by Thy strength, And bring them down, O Lord our shield.

59:12  The sin of their mouth is a word of their lips, And they are captured in their pride, And from the curse and lying they recount.

59:13  Consume in fury, consume and they are not, And they know that God is ruling in Jacob, To the ends of the earth. Selah.

59:14  And they turn back at evening, They make a noise like a dog, And they go round about the city.

59:15  They--they wander for food, If they are not satisfied--then they murmur.

59:16  And I--I sing of Thy strength, And I sing at morn of Thy kindness, For thou hast been a tower to me, And a refuge for me in a day of adversity.

59:17  O my Strength, unto Thee I sing praise, For God is my tower, the God of my kindness!
