Book 27 : KETUVIM - PSALMS - Chapter 059
59:001
For the Leader; Al-tashheth. A Psalm of David; Michtam;
when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him
59:002
Deliver me from mine enemies, O my G-d; set me on high from
them that rise up against me
59:003
Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from
the men of blood
59:004
For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul; the impudent gather
themselves together against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O
HaShem
59:005
Without my fault, they run and prepare themselves; awake
Thou to help me, and behold
59:006
Thou therefore, O HaShem G-d of hosts, the G-d of Israel,
arouse Thyself to punish all the nations; show no mercy to any iniquitous
traitors. Sela
59:007
They return at evening, they howl like a dog, and go round
about the city
59:008
Behold, they belch out with their mouth; swords are in
their lips: 'For who doth hear?
59:009
But Thou, O HaShem, shalt laugh at them; Thou shalt have
all the nations in derision
59:010
Because of his strength, I will wait for Thee; for G-d is
my high tower
59:011
The G-d of my mercy will come to meet me; G-d will let me
gaze upon mine adversaries
59:012
Slay them not, lest my people forget, make them wander to
and fro by Thy power, and bring them down, O L-rd our shield
59:013
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
59:014
Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they be no more;
and let them know that G-d ruleth in Jacob, unto the ends of the earth. Sela
59:015
And they return at evening, they howl like a dog, and go
round about the city
59:016
They wander up and down to devour, and tarry all night if
they have not their fill
59:017
But as for me, I will sing of Thy strength; yea, I will
sing aloud of Thy mercy in the morning; for Thou hast been my high tower, and a
refuge in the day of my distress
59:018
O my strength, unto Thee will I sing praises; for G-d is
my high tower, the G-d of my mercy
