 | 59:1 | Deliver me from mine enemies, O my Elohim: defend me from them that rise up against me. |
| 59:2 | Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men. |
| 59:3 | For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O Yahweh. |
| 59:4 | They run and prepare themselves without my fault: awake to help me, and behold. |
| 59:5 | Thou therefore, O Yahweh Elohim of hosts, the Elohim of Israel, awake to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah. |
| 59:6 | They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city. |
| 59:7 | Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, doth hear? |
| 59:8 | But thou, O Yahweh, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision. |
| 59:9 | Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: for Elohim is my defence. |
| 59:10 | The Elohim of my mercy shall prevent me: Elohim shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies. |
| 59:11 | Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Yahweh our shield. |
| 59:12 | For 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. |
| 59:13 | Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be: and let them know that Elohim ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. Selah. |
| 59:14 | And at evening let them return; and let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city. |
| 59:15 | Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be not satisfied. |
| 59:16 | But 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. |
| 59:17 | Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for Elohim is my defence, and the Elohim of my mercy. |
