59:1 To the chief Musician 5329 8764, Altaschith 516 8686, Michtam 4387 of David 1732; when Saul 7586 sent 7971 8800, and they watched 8104 8799 the house 1004 to kill him 4191 8687. Deliver 5337 8685 me from mine enemies 341 8802, O my God 430: defend 7682 8762 me from them that rise up 6965 8693 against me.(Altaschith…: or, To the chief Musician, destroy not, a golden Psalm of David)(defend…: Heb. set me on high)

59:2 Deliver 5337 8685 me from the workers 6466 8802 of iniquity 205, and save 3467 8685 me from bloody 1818 men 582.

59:3 For, lo, they lie in wait 693 8804 for my soul 5315: the mighty 5794 are gathered 1481 8799 against me; not [for] my transgression 6588, nor [for] my sin 2403, O LORD 3068.

59:4 They run 7323 8799 and prepare 3559 8709 themselves without [my] fault 5771: awake 5782 8798 to help 7125 8800 me, and behold 7200 8798.(help: Heb. meet)

59:5 Thou therefore, O LORD 3068 God 430 of hosts 6635, the God 430 of Israel 3478, awake 6974 8685 to visit 6485 8800 all the heathen 1471: be not merciful 2603 8799 to any wicked 205 transgressors 898 8802. Selah 5542.

59:6 They return 7725 8799 at evening 6153: they make a noise 1993 8799 like a dog 3611, and go round about 5437 8779 the city 5892.

59:7 Behold, they belch out 5042 8686 with their mouth 6310: swords 2719 [are] in their lips 8193: for who, [say they], doth hear 8085 8802?

59:8 But thou, O LORD 3068, shalt laugh 7832 8799 at them; thou shalt have all the heathen 1471 in derision 3932 8799.

59:9 [Because of] his strength 5797 will I wait 8104 8799 upon thee: for God 430 [is] my defence 4869.(defence: Heb. high place)

59:10 The God 430 of my mercy 2617 shall prevent 6923 8762 me: God 430 shall let me see 7200 8686 [my desire] upon mine enemies 8324 8802.(enemies: Heb. observers)

59:11 Slay 2026 8799 them not, lest my people 5971 forget 7911 8799: scatter 5128 8685 them by thy power 2428; and bring them down 3381 8685, O Lord 136 our shield 4043.

59:12 [For] the sin 2403 of their mouth 6310 [and] the words 1697 of their lips 8193 let them even be taken 3920 8735 in their pride 1347: and for cursing 423 and lying 3585 [which] they speak 5608 8762.

59:13 Consume 3615 8761 [them] in wrath 2534, consume 3615 8761 [them], that they [may] not [be]: and let them know 3045 8799 that God 430 ruleth 4910 8802 in Jacob 3290 unto the ends 657 of the earth 776. Selah 5542.

59:14 And at evening 6153 let them return 7725 8799; [and] let them make a noise 1993 8799 like a dog 3611, and go round about 5437 8779 the city 5892.

59:15 Let them wander up and down 5128 8686 8675 5128 8799 for meat 398 8800, and grudge 3885 8799 if they be not satisfied 7646 8799.(for meat: Heb. to eat)(and grudge…: or, if they be not satisfied, then they will stay all night)

59:16 But I will sing 7891 8799 of thy power 5797; yea, I will sing aloud 7442 8762 of thy mercy 2617 in the morning 1242: for thou hast been my defence 4869 and refuge 4498 in the day 3117 of my trouble 6862.
