Rotherham - Psalms - 59

59:1  Rescue me from my foes, O my God, From them who lift themselves up against me, wilt thou set me on high:

59:2  Rescue me, from the workers of iniquity, And, from the men of bloodshed, save me.

59:3  For lo! they have lain in wait for my life, Mighty ones stir up strife against me, Without transgression of mine, and without sin of mine, O Yahweh;

59:4  For no iniquity, do they run that they may take their stand, Rouse thyself to meet me, and see.

59:5  Thou, therefore, O Yahweh, God of hosts, God of Israel, Awake, to visit all the nations, Do not show favour to any iniquitous traitors. [Selah.]

59:6  They return at evening, They grow like a dog, And go round the city.

59:7  Lo! they belch forth with their mouth, Swords, are in their lips, For [say they], Who doth hear?

59:8  Thou, therefore, O Yahweh, wilt laugh at them, Thou wilt mock at all nations.

59:9  O my Strength, unto thee, will I make melody, For, God, is my high tower.

59:10  My God of lovingkindness, will come to meet me, God, will let me look on mine adversaries.

59:11  Do not slay them, lest my people forget, Cause them to wander by thy strength, and prostrate them, [Thou] our shield, O Lord!

59:12  The sin of their mouth, The word of their lips, Let them then be captured in their pride, Both for the oath and for the deception they record.

59:13  Bring to a full end in wrath, Bring to a full end, that they be no more,—That men may know that, God, is ruling in Jacob, Unto the ends of the earth. [Selah.]

59:14  Let them return, then, at evening, Let them growl like a dog, And go round the city.

59:15  They, may prowl about for food,—And, if they are not satisfied, then let them whine!

59:16  But, I, will sing thy power, And will shout aloud, in the morning, thy lovingkindness,—For thou has become a refuge for me, And a place to flee to in the day of my distress.

59:17  O my Strength, unto thee, will I make melody, For, God, is my high tower, my God of lovingkindness.
