Psalm 59

Menge Bibel

1 Dem Musikmeister, nach (der Singweise = Melodie) »Vertilge nicht«; ein Lied von David, als Saul das Haus bewachen ließ, um ihn zu töten (1.Sam 19,11-17). (Ps 16,1)2 Rette mich von meinen Feinden, mein Gott! Sei mir ein Schutz vor meinen Widersachern!3 Rette mich von den Übeltätern und hilf mir gegen die Blutmenschen!4 Denn siehe, sie trachten mir nach dem Leben; Starke rotten sich gegen mich zusammen ohne mein Verschulden, o HERR, und ohne daß ich gefehlt.5 Gegen einen Schuldlosen stürmen sie an und stellen sich auf: erwache, komm mir zu Hilfe und sieh darein!6 Ja, du, o HERR, Gott der Heerscharen, Israels Gott, wache auf, um alle Heiden zu strafen! Verschone keinen der treulosen Frevler! SELA.7 Jeden Abend kommen sie wieder, heulen wie Hunde und streifen umher in der Stadt.8 Siehe, sie geifern mit ihrem Munde, Schwerter stecken in ihren Lippen, denn (sie denken): »Wer hört es?«9 Doch du, o HERR, du lachest ihrer, spottest aller Heiden.10 Meine Stärke, deiner will ich harren, denn Gott ist meine feste Burg.11 Mein Gott kommt mir entgegen mit seiner Gnade; Gott läßt meine Lust mich sehn an meinen Feinden.12 Töte sie nicht, daß mein Volk sie nicht vergesse! Treibe sie in die Irre durch deine Macht und stürze sie nieder, du, unser Schild, o Allherr!13 Sündhaft ist ihr Mund, das Wort ihrer Lippen; drum laß sie sich fangen in ihrem Hochmut wegen der Flüche und Lügen, die sie reden!14 Vertilge sie im Zorn, vertilge sie, daß sie nicht mehr sind! Laß sie inne werden, daß Gott in Jakob herrscht, bis an die Enden der Erde! SELA.15 Jeden Abend kommen sie wieder, heulen wie Hunde und streifen umher in der Stadt;16 sie schweifen umher nach Fraß und knurren, sind sie nicht satt geworden.17 Ich aber will deine Stärke[1] besingen und am Morgen ob deiner Gnade jubeln; denn du bist eine feste Burg für mich gewesen, eine Zuflucht zur Zeit meiner Drangsal.18 Meine Stärke, dir will ich lobsingen! Denn Gott ist meine feste Burg, der Gott, der mir Gnade erweist.

1 God, save me from my enemies. Keep me safe from people who are attacking me.2 Save me from those who do evil. Save me from people who want to kill me.3 See how they hide and wait for me! LORD, angry people plan to harm me, even though I haven’t hurt them in any way or sinned against them.4 I haven’t done anything wrong to them. But they are ready to attack me. Rise up and help me! Look at what I’m up against!5 LORD God who rules over all, rise up. God of Israel, punish all the nations. Don’t show any mercy to those sinful people who have turned against me.6 My enemies are like a pack of barking dogs that come back to the city in the evening. They prowl around the city.7 Listen to what pours out of their mouths. The words from their lips are like swords. They think, ‘Who can hear us?’8 But you laugh at them, LORD. You make fun of all those nations.9 You give me strength. I look to you. God, you are like a fort to me.10 You are my God, and I can depend on you. God will march out in front of me. He will let me look down on those who tell lies about me.11 Lord, you are like a shield that keeps us safe. Don’t kill my enemies all at once. If you do, my people will forget about it. Use your power to pull my enemies up by the roots like weeds. Destroy them.12 They have sinned with their mouths. Their lips have spoken evil words. They have cursed me and lied. Let them be caught in their pride.13 Burn them up in your anger. Burn them up until there isn’t anything left of them. Then everyone from one end of the earth to the other will know that God rules over the people of Jacob.14 My enemies are like a pack of barking dogs that come back into the city in the evening. They prowl around the city.15 They wander around looking for food. They groan if they don’t find something that will satisfy them.16 But I will sing about your strength. In the morning I will sing about your love. You are like a fort to me. You keep me safe in times of trouble.17 You give me strength. I sing praise to you. God, you are like a fort to me. You are my God, and I can depend on you.

Psalm 59

von 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; (1Sam 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, (1Sam 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?” (Hi 22,13; Ps 57,4; Ps 94,4; Spr 15,2; Spr 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, (Spr 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. (Hi 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. (2Sam 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)
