King James Bible |
Youngs Literal Translation |
|
| 59:1 | Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: |
To the Overseer. -- `Destroy not,' by David. -- A secret treasure, in Saul's sending, and they watch the house to put him to death. Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God, From my withstanders set me on high. |
| 59:2 | Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men. | Deliver me from workers of iniquity, And from men of blood save me. |
| 59:3 | For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O LORD. | For, lo, they laid wait for my soul, Assembled against me are strong ones, Not my transgression nor my sin, O Jehovah. |
| 59:4 | They run and prepare themselves without my fault: awake |
Without punishment they run and prepare themselves, Stir up to meet me, and see. |
| 59:5 | Thou therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah. | And Thou, Jehovah, God of Hosts, God of Israel, Awake to inspect all the nations. Favour not any treacherous dealers of iniquity. Selah. |
| 59:6 | They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city. | They turn back at evening, They make a noise like a dog, And go round about the city. |
| 59:7 | Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, doth hear? | Lo, they belch out with their mouths, Swords `are' in their lips, for `Who heareth?' |
| 59:8 | But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision. | And Thou, O Jehovah dost laugh at them, Thou dost mock at all the nations. |
| 59:9 | Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: for God is |
O my Strength, unto Thee I take heed, For God `is' my tower -- the God of my kindness. |
| 59:10 | The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see my desire upon |
God doth go before me, He causeth me to look on mine enemies. |
| 59:11 | Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield. | Slay them not, lest my people forget, Shake them by Thy strength, And bring them down, O Lord our shield. |
| 59:12 | For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying which they speak. | The sin of their mouth `is' a word of their lips, And they are captured in their pride, And from the curse and lying they recount. |
| 59:13 | Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be: and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. Selah. | Consume in fury, consume and they are not, And they know that God is ruling in Jacob, To the ends of the earth. Selah. |
| 59:14 | And at evening let them return; and let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city. | And they turn back at evening, They make a noise like a dog, And they go round about the city. |
| 59:15 | Let them wander up and down |
They -- they wander for food, If they are not satisfied -- then they murmur. |
| 59:16 | But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble. | And I -- I sing `of' Thy strength, And I sing at morn `of' Thy kindness, For thou hast been a tower to me, And a refuge for me in a day of adversity. |
| 59:17 | Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God is my defence, and the God of my mercy. | O my Strength, unto Thee I sing praise, For God `is' my tower, the God of my kindness! |
