KJ3 Literal Translation
Psalms 59
David prays to be delivered from his enemies. To the chief musician. Do not destroy. A secret treasure of David, when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him.
1To the chief musician. Do not destroy. A secret treasure of David, when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him. Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; set me on high from those rising up against me.
2Deliver me from the workers of evil, and save me from bloody men.
3For behold, they lie in wait for my soul, mighty ones gather against me; not for my transgression, and not for my sin, O Jehovah.
4Without my fault they run and prepare themselves; awaken to help me, and see.
5And You, O Jehovah God of Hosts, the God of Israel: Awake to call all the nations to account; do not favor any acting treacherously. Selah.
6They return at evening; they howl like a dog and go around the city.
7Behold, they belch forth with their mouth; swords are in their lips; for they say, Who hears?
8But You, O Jehovah, shall laugh at them; you shall mock at all the nations.
9O my Strength, let me look to You; for God is my strong tower.
10The God of my mercy shall go before me; God shall cause me to see those being my enemies.
11Do not kill them, lest my people forget; scatter them by Your power and bring them down, O Lord our shield.
12For the sin of their mouth is the word of their lips, even let them be taken in their pride, and for cursing and the lying which they speak.
13Consume them in anger; consume, and they will not be; and they shall know that God is ruling in Jacob, to the ends of the earth. Selah.
14And they shall return at evening; let them howl like the dog and go around the city;
15they are caused to wander up and down to eat, if they are not satisfied, even they growl.
16But I will sing of Your power; yes, I will sing of Your kindness in the morning. For You have been my strong tower, and my refuge in the day of my trouble.
17To You, O my strength, I will sing; for God is my strong tower, the God of my mercy.
