59:1 Save me from my enemies, oh, God, and from those who stand against me, lift me up.
59:2 Save me from workers of lies and save me from men who shed blood.
59:3 Because they lay in wait for my soul and their evils prevailed against me, not by my crimes, and not by my sins, my Lord.
59:4 That it is not by my foolishness they have run against me and were prepared against me, awake and see!
59:5 You are Lord Jehovah, God of hosts, God of Israel; awake and order all the nations and do not forgive any evil ones!
59:6 They shall be turned back in the evening and they will growl like dogs and will surround the city.
59:7 The speech of their mouths is a sword in their lips and they say, “Who hears?”
59:8 And you, Lord Jehovah, laugh at them, and mock at all the nations.
59:9 God, I shall praise you, because you are the place of my refuge, oh, God!
59:10 God, your kindness will go before me; God will avenge me of my enemies.
59:11 Do not kill them, lest my people forget, but shake them by your power and chase them Lord Jehovah, my trust.
59:12 The sin of their mouths speaks; their lips rejoice in their boasting because they tell a curse and lies.
59:13 Destroy them in your wrath; destroy them and they will not be found, that they may know that God is the Ruler over Jacob and over the ends of the Earth.
59:14 They shall be turned back in the evening and they will growl like dogs and will surround the city.
59:15 They will beg to eat and will not be satisfied and they will not spend the night.
59:16 And I shall praise your power and I shall praise your kindness at dawn, because you have been a place of refuge to me and a Savior in the day of affliction!
59:17 Oh God, I shall sing to you, because you are the God of the house of my refuge, and the God of my grace!
