Salmos 59,1-17
Psalm LIX.
1 Dauid prayeth to be deliuered from his enemies. 6 Hee complaineth of their cruelty. 8 Hee trusteth in God. 11 He prayeth against them. 16 He praiseth God.
To [ Or, in the chiefe Musician, destroy not, a golden psalme of Dauid.] the chiefe musician Al-taschith, Michtam of Dauid: [ 1Sa_19:11.] when Saul sent, and they watcht the house to kill him.
1 Deliuer me from mine enemies, O my God: [ Hebrew: set me on high.] defend mee from them that rise vp against me.
2 Deliuer mee from the workers of iniquitie, and saue me from bloodie men.
3 For loe, they lye in waite for my soule; the mighty are gathered against
[The wickeds furie.]
me, not for my transgression, nor for my sinne, O Lord.
4 They runne and prepare themselues without my fault: awake [ Hebrew: to meete me.] to helpe me, and behold.
5 Thou therefore, O Lord God of hostes, the God of Israel, awake to visite all the heathen: be not mercifull to any wicked transgressours. Selah.
6 They returne at euening: they make a noise like a dogge, and go round about the citie.
7 Behold, they belch out with their mouth: [ Psa_10:11; Psa_73:11; Psa_94:7.] swords are in their lippes; for who, say they, doeth heare?
8 But thou, O Lord, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt haue all the heathen in derision.
9 Because of his strength will I wait vpon thee: for God is [ Hebrew: my high place.] my defence.
10 The God of my mercy shall preuent me; God shall let mee see my desire vpon [ Hebrew: mine obseruers.] mine enemies.
11 Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power; and bring them downe, O Lord our shield.
12 For the sinne of their mouth, and the words of their lips, let them euen be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying which they speake.
13 Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be: and let them know that God ruleth in Iacob, vnto the ends of the earth. Selah.
14 And at euening let them returne, and let them make a noise like a dogge, and goe round about the citie.
15 Let them wander vp and downe [ Hebrew: to eate.] for meate, [ Or, if they be not satisfied, then they will stay all night.] and grudge if they be not satisfied.
16 But I will sing of thy power; yea I will sing alowd of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast bene my defence and refuge, in the day of my trouble.
17 Vnto thee, O my strength, wil I sing: for God is my defence, and the God of my mercy.
