PSALMS 诗篇059

PSALM¹ 59
1Deliver me from my enemies, O God; protect me from those who rise up against me.
2Deliver me from evildoers and save me from bloodthirsty men.
3See how they lie in wait for me! Fierce men conspire² against me for no offense³ or sin of mine, O Lord .
4I have done no wrong, yet they are ready to attack me. Arise to help me; look on my plight⁴!
5O Lord God Almighty⁵, the God of Israel, rouse yourself to punish all the nations; show no mercy to wicked traitors⁶. Selah
6They return at evening, snarling⁷ like dogs, and prowl about the city.
7See what they spew from their mouths- they spew out swords from their lips, and they say, "Who can hear us?"
8But you, O Lord , laugh at them; you scoff⁸ at all those nations.
9O my Strength, I watch for you; you, O God, are my fortress⁹,
10my loving God. God will go before me and will let me gloat over those who slander¹⁰ me.
11But do not kill them, O Lord our shield, or my people will forget. In your might make them wander about, and bring them down.
12For the sins of their mouths, for the words of their lips, let them be caught in their pride. For the curses and lies they utter,
13consume them in wrath¹¹, consume them till they are no more. Then it will be known to the ends of the earth that God rules over Jacob. Selah
14They return at evening, snarling like dogs, and prowl about the city.
15They wander about for food and howl if not satisfied.
16But I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love; for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble.
17O my Strength, I sing praise to you; you, O God, are my fortress, my loving God.
