Psalm 59
BSB Parallel ISV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
Berean Study BibleInternational Standard Version
1For the choirmaster. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Miktam of David, when Saul sent men to watch David’s house in order to kill him. Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; protect me from those who rise against me.1Save me from my enemies, my God! Keep me safe from those who rise up against me.
2Deliver me from workers of iniquity, and save me from men of bloodshed.2Save me from those who practice evil; deliver me from bloodthirsty men.
3See how they lie in wait for me. Fierce men conspire against me for no transgression or sin of my own, O LORD.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.
4For no fault of my own, they move swiftly to attack me. Arise to help me, and take notice.4Without any fault on my part, they rush together and prepare themselves. Get up! Come help me! Pay attention!
5O LORD God of Hosts, the God of Israel, rouse Yourself to punish all the nations; show no mercy to the wicked traitors. Selah5You, LORD God of the Heavenly Armies, God of Israel, stir yourself up to punish all the nations. Show no mercy to those wicked transgressors. Interlude
6They return in the evening, snarling like dogs and prowling around the city.6At night they return like howling dogs; they prowl around the city.
7See what they spew from their mouths—sharp words from their lips: “For who can hear us?”7Look what pours out of their mouths! They use their lips like swords, saying "Who will hear us?"
8But You, O LORD, laugh at them; You scoff at all the nations.8But you, LORD, will laugh at them; you will mock all the nations.
9I will keep watch for You, O my strength, because You, O God, are my fortress.9My Strength, I will watch for you, for God is my fortress.
10My God of loving devotion will come to meet me; God will let me stare down my foes.10My God of Gracious Love will meet me; God will enable me to see what happens to my enemies.
11Do not kill them, or my people will forget. Scatter them by Your power, and bring them down, O Lord, our shield.11Don't kill them! Otherwise, my people may forget. By your power make them stumble around; bring them down low, Lord, our Shield.
12By the sins of their mouths and the words of their lips, let them be trapped in their pride, in the curses and lies they utter.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.
13Consume them in wrath; consume them till they are no more, so it may be known to the ends of the earth that God rules over Jacob. Selah13Go ahead and destroy them in anger! Wipe them out, and they will know to the ends of the earth that God rules over Jacob. Interlude
14They return in the evening, snarling like dogs and prowling around the city.14At night they return like howling dogs; they prowl around the city.
15They scavenge for food, and growl if they are not satisfied.15They scavenge for food. If they find nothing, they become hungry and growl.
16But I will sing of Your strength and proclaim Your loving devotion in the morning. For You are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble.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.
17To You, O my strength, I sing praises, for You, O God, are my fortress, my God of loving devotion.17My Strength, I will sing praises to you, for you, God of Gracious Love, are my fortress.
