Salmo 59

¹ Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God; secure me on high from them that rise up against me. ² Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from men of blood. ³ For behold, they lie in wait for my soul; strong ones are gathered against me: not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O Jehovah. ⁴ They run and prepare themselves without my fault: awake to meet me, and behold. ⁵ Yea, do thou, Jehovah, the God of hosts, the God of Israel, arise to visit all the nations: be not gracious to any plotters of iniquity. Selah. ⁶ They return in the evening; they howl 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, Jehovah, wilt laugh at them; thou wilt have all the nations in derision. ⁹ Their strength! ...I will take heed to thee; for God is my high fortress. ¹⁰ God, whose loving-kindness will come to meet me, --God shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies. ¹¹ Slay them not, lest my people forget; by thy power make them wander, and bring them down, O Lord, our shield. ¹²  Because of the sin of their mouth, the word of their lips, let them even be taken in their pride; and because of cursing and lying which they speak. ¹³ Make an end in wrath, make an end, that they may be no more; that they may know that God ruleth in Jacob, unto the ends of the earth. Selah. ¹⁴ And in the evening they shall return, they shall howl like a dog, and go round about the city. ¹⁵ They shall wander about for meat, and stay all night if they be not satisfied. ¹⁶ But as for me, I will sing of thy strength; yea, I will sing aloud of thy loving-kindness in the morning; for thou hast been to me a high fortress, and a refuge in the day of my trouble. ¹⁷ Unto thee, my strength, will I sing psalms; for God is my high fortress, the God of my mercy.
