Psalm 59 – Studienbibel

1 To the chief Musician5329, Altaschith516, Michtam4387 of David1732; when Saul7586 sent7971, and they watched8104 the house1004 to kill him4191. Deliver5337 me from mine enemies341, O my God430: defend7682 me from them that rise up6965 against me.¹² 2 Deliver5337 me from the workers6466 of iniquity205, and save3467 me from bloody1818 men582. 3 For, lo, they lie in wait693 for my soul5315: the mighty5794 are gathered1481 against me; not for my transgression6588, nor for my sin2403, O LORD3068. 4 They run7323 and prepare3559 themselves without my fault5771: awake5782 to help7125 me, and behold7200.³ 5 Thou therefore, O LORD3068 God430 of hosts6635, the God430 of Israel3478, awake6974 to visit6485 all the heathen1471: be not merciful2603 to any wicked205 transgressors898. Selah5542. 6 They return7725 at evening6153: they make a noise1993 like a dog3611, and go round about5437 the city5892. 7 Behold, they belch out5042 with their mouth6310: swords2719 are in their lips8193: for who, say they, doth hear8085?

8 But thou, O LORD3068, shalt laugh7832 at them; thou shalt have all the heathen1471 in derision3932. 9 Because of his strength5797 will I wait8104 upon thee: for God430 is my defence4869.⁴ 10 The God430 of my mercy2617 shall prevent6923 me: God430 shall let me see7200 my desire upon mine enemies8324.⁵ 11 Slay2026 them not, lest my people5971 forget7911: scatter5128 them by thy power2428; and bring them down3381, O Lord136 our shield4043. 12 For the sin2403 of their mouth6310 and the words1697 of their lips8193 let them even be taken3920 in their pride1347: and for cursing423 and lying3585 which they speak5608. 13 Consume3615 them in wrath2534, consume3615 them, that they may not be: and let them know3045 that God430 ruleth4910 in Jacob3290 unto the ends657 of the earth776. Selah5542. 14 And at evening6153 let them return7725; and let them make a noise1993 like a dog3611, and go round about5437 the city5892. 15 Let them wander up and down5128 5128 for meat398, and grudge3885 if they be not satisfied7646.⁶⁷ 16 But I will sing7891 of thy power5797; yea, I will sing aloud7442 of thy mercy2617 in the morning1242: for thou hast been my defence4869 and refuge4498 in the day3117 of my trouble6862. 17 Unto thee, O my strength5797, will I sing2167: for God430 is my defence4869, and the God430 of my mercy2617.
