Psalm 59
ISV Parallel KJV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
International Standard VersionKing James Bible
1Save me from my enemies, my God! Keep me safe from those who rise up against me.1To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him. Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me.
2Save me from those who practice evil; deliver me from bloodthirsty men.2Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men.
3Look, they lie in ambush for my life; these violent men gather together against me, but not because of any transgression or sin of mine, LORD.3For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O LORD.
4Without any fault on my part, they rush together and prepare themselves. Get up! Come help me! Pay attention!4They run and prepare themselves without my fault: awake to help me, and behold.
5You, LORD God of the Heavenly Armies, God of Israel, stir yourself up to punish all the nations. Show no mercy to those wicked transgressors. Interlude5Thou therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah.
6At night they return like howling dogs; they prowl around the city.6They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
7Look what pours out of their mouths! They use their lips like swords, saying "Who will hear us?"7Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, doth hear?
8But you, LORD, will laugh at them; you will mock all the nations.8But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision.
9My Strength, I will watch for you, for God is my fortress.9Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: for God is my defence.
10My God of Gracious Love will meet me; God will enable me to see what happens to my enemies.10The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies.
11Don't kill them! Otherwise, my people may forget. By your power make them stumble around; bring them down low, Lord, our Shield.11Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield.
12The sin of their mouth is the word on their lips. They will be caught in their own conceit; for they speak curses and lies.12For 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.
13Go ahead and destroy them in anger! Wipe them out, and they will know to the ends of the earth that God rules over Jacob. Interlude13Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be: and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. Selah.
14At night they return like howling dogs; they prowl around the city.14And at evening let them return; and let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
15They scavenge for food. If they find nothing, they become hungry and growl.15Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be not satisfied.
16But I will sing of your power and in the morning I will shout for joy about your gracious love. For you have been a fortress for me; and a refuge when I am distressed. 16But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble.
17My Strength, I will sing praises to you, for you, God of Gracious Love, are my fortress.17Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God is my defence, and the God of my mercy.
