Psalm 59

English Standard Version

from Crossway
1 To the choirmaster: according to Do Not Destroy. A Miktam[1] of David, when Saul sent men to watch his house in order to kill him. Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; protect me from those who rise up against me; (1Sa 19:11; Ps 16:1; Ps 17:7; Ps 18:48; Ps 20:1; Ps 57:1; Ps 143:9)2 deliver me from those who work evil, and save me from bloodthirsty men. (Ps 5:6; Ps 94:4)3 For behold, they lie in wait for my life; fierce men stir up strife against me. For no transgression or sin of mine, O Lord, (1Sa 24:11; Ps 7:3; Ps 10:9; Ps 56:6; Ps 69:4)4 for no fault of mine, they run and make ready. Awake, come to meet me, and see! (Ps 35:23)5 You, Lord God of hosts, are God of Israel. Rouse yourself to punish all the nations; spare none of those who treacherously plot evil. (Ps 80:4; Ps 84:8)6 Each evening they come back, howling like dogs and prowling about the city. (Ps 22:16)7 There they are, bellowing with their mouths with swords in their lips— for “Who,” they think,[2] “will hear us?” (Job 22:13; Ps 57:4; Ps 94:4; Pr 15:2; Pr 15:28)8 But you, O Lord, laugh at them; you hold all the nations in derision. (Ps 2:4)9 O my Strength, I will watch for you, for you, O God, are my fortress. (Ps 9:9; Ps 59:16)10 My God in his steadfast love[3] will meet me; God will let me look in triumph on my enemies. (Ps 21:3; Ps 54:7; Ps 59:17)11 Kill them not, lest my people forget; make them totter[4] by your power and bring them down, O Lord, our shield! (Ps 3:3; Ps 55:23)12 For the sin of their mouths, the words of their lips, let them be trapped in their pride. For the cursing and lies that they utter, (Pr 12:13)13 consume them in wrath; consume them till they are no more, that they may know that God rules over Jacob to the ends of the earth. (Ps 7:9; Ps 22:27; Ps 83:18)14 Each evening they come back, howling like dogs and prowling about the city. (Ps 22:16)15 They wander about for food and growl if they do not get their fill. (Job 15:23; Ps 109:10)16 But I will sing of your strength; I will sing aloud of your steadfast love in the morning. For you have been to me a fortress and a refuge in the day of my distress. (2Sa 22:3; Ps 18:6; Ps 59:9)17 O my Strength, I will sing praises to you, for you, O God, are my fortress, the God who shows me steadfast love. (Ps 59:10; Ps 59:16)

from Biblica
1 我的上帝啊, 求你救我脱离仇敌, 保护我免遭其害。2 求你救我脱离作恶之徒, 脱离嗜血成性之人。3 看啊,他们要暗害我。 耶和华啊,我并未犯罪作恶, 凶残的人却攻击我。4 我没有过错, 他们却准备攻击我。 求你起来帮助我, 顾念我的困境。5 万军之耶和华,以色列的上帝啊, 求你起来惩罚列国, 不要姑息奸诈的恶人。(细拉)6 他们夜晚回来, 嚎叫如狗,在城中游荡。7 他们出口伤人,舌如利剑, 还说:“谁听得见?”8 但你耶和华必嗤笑他们, 嘲讽列国。9 上帝啊, 你是我的力量,我的堡垒, 我仰望你。10 我的上帝爱我, 祂会帮助我, 让我欣然看见仇敌遭报。11 保护我们的主啊, 求你不要杀掉他们, 免得我的百姓忘记教训。 求你用你的能力驱散他们, 使他们沦为卑贱。12 他们的嘴巴充满罪恶, 口中尽是咒诅和谎言, 愿他们陷在狂傲中不能自拔。13 求你发烈怒毁灭他们, 彻底铲除他们, 使普天下都知道上帝在雅各家掌权。(细拉)14 他们夜晚回来, 嚎叫如狗,在城中游荡,15 四处觅食, 吃不饱就狂吠不止。16 但我要歌颂你的能力, 在清晨颂扬你的慈爱, 因为你是我的堡垒, 是我患难时的避难所。17 上帝啊,你是我的力量, 我要颂赞你, 你是我的堡垒, 是爱我的上帝。
