Psalms 59

lamnatseakh al-tashkhet ledavid mikhtam bishloakh sha'ul vayyishmeru et-habbayit lahamito

For the leader; al tashḥeth. Of David. A michtam; when Saul sent men to watch his house in order to put him to death.

hatsileni me'oyevay elohay mimmitqomemay tesaggeveni

Save me from my enemies, O my God; secure me against my assailants.

hatsileni mippo'ale aven ume'anshe damim hoshi'eni

Save me from evildoers; deliver me from murderers.

ki hinneh arevu lenafshi yaguru alay azzim lo-fishi velo-khattati Adonai

For see, they lie in wait for me; fierce people plot against me for no offense of mine, for no transgression, O ETERNAL One;

beli-avon yerutsun veyikkonanu urah liqrati ure'eh

for no guilt of mine do they rush to array themselves against me. Look, rouse Yourself in my behalf!

ve'attah Adonaielohim tseva'ot elohe yisra'el haqitsah lifqod kol-haggoyim al-takhon kol-bogede aven selah

You, O ETERNAL One, God of hosts, God of Israel, bestir Yourself to bring all nations to account; have no mercy on any treacherous villain. Selah.

yashuvu la'erev yehemu khakkalev visovevu ir

They come each evening growling like dogs, roaming the city.

hinneh yabbi'un befihem kharavot besiftotehem ki-mi shomea

They rave with their mouths, sharp words are on their lips; [they think,] “Who hears?”

ve'attah Adonai tiskhaq-lamo tilag lekhol-goyim

But You, O ETERNAL One, laugh at them; You mock all the nations.

uzzo elekha eshmorah ki-elohim misgabbi

O my strength, I wait for You; for God is my haven.

elohe (khsdv) [khasdi] yeqaddemeni elohim yareni veshoreray

My faithful God will come to aid me; God will let me gloat over my watchful foes.

al-tahargem pen-yishkekhu ammi hani'emo vekhelekha vehoridemo maginnenu adonay

Do not kill them lest my people be unmindful; with Your power make wanderers of them; bring them low, O our shield, my Sovereign,

khattat-pimo devar-sefatemo veyillakhedu vigonam ume'alah umikkakhash yesapperu

because of their sinful mouths, the words on their lips. Let them be trapped by their pride, and by the imprecations and lies they utter.

kalleh vekhemah kalleh ve'enemo veyede'u ki-elohim moshel beya'aqov le'afse ha'arets selah

In Your fury put an end to them; put an end to them that they be no more; that it may be known to the ends of the earth that God does rule over Jacob. Selah.

veyashuvu la'erev yehemu khakkalev visovevu ir

They come each evening growling like dogs, roaming the city.

hemmah (ynvvn) [yeni'un] le'ekhol im-lo yisbe'u vayyalinu

They wander in search of food; and whine if they are not satisfied.

va'ani ashir uzzekha va'arannen labboqer khasdekha ki-hayita misgav li umanos beyom tsar-li

But I will sing of Your strength, extol each morning Your faithfulness; for You have been my haven, a refuge in time of trouble.

uzzi elekha azammerah ki-elohim misgabbi elohe khasdi

O my strength, to You I sing hymns; for God is my haven, my faithful God.
