Psalms 59

¹TO THE OVERSEER. “DO NOT DESTROY.” A MIKTAM OF DAVID, IN SAUL’S SENDING, AND THEY WATCH THE HOUSE TO PUT HIM TO DEATH. Deliver me from my enemies, O my God, Set me on high from my withstanders.

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

³For behold, they laid wait for my soul, Strong ones are assembled against me, Not my transgression nor my sin, O YHWH.

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

⁵And You, YHWH, God of Hosts, God of Israel, Awake to inspect all the nations. Do not favor any treacherous dealers of iniquity. Selah.

⁶They return at evening, They make a noise like a dog, And go around the city.

⁷Behold, they belch out with their mouths, Swords are in their lips, for “Who hears?”

⁸And You, O YHWH, laugh at them, You mock at all the nations.

⁹O my Strength, to You I take heed, For God is my tower—the God of my kindness.

¹⁰God goes before me, He causes me to look on my enemies.

¹¹Do not slay them, lest my people forget, Shake them by Your strength, And bring them down, O Lord our shield.

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

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

¹⁴And they return at evening, They make a noise like a dog, And they go around the city.

¹⁵They wander for food, If they are not satisfied—then they murmur.

¹⁶And I sing of Your strength, And at morning I sing of Your kindness, For You have been a tower to me, And a refuge for me in a day of adversity.

¹⁷O my Strength, I sing praise to You, For God is my tower, the God of my kindness!
