Psalm 59

Common English Bible CEB

1 Oh, my God, deliver me from my enemies; put me out of reach from those who rise up against me.

2 Deliver me from evildoers; save me from the bloodthirsty.

3 Look at how they lie in ambush for my life! Powerful people are attacking me, LORD— but not because of any error or sin of mine.

4 They run and take their stand— but not because of any fault of mine. Get up when I cry out to you! Look at what's happening!

5 You are the LORD God of heavenly forces, the God of Israel! Wake up and punish all the nations! Grant no mercy to any wicked traitor! Selah

6 They come back every evening, growling like dogs, prowling around the city.

7 See what they belch out with their mouths: swords are between their lips! Who can listen to them?

8 But you, LORD, laugh at them. You mock all the nations.

9 I keep looking for you, my strength, because God is my stronghold.

10 My loving God will come to meet me. God will allow me to look down on my enemies.

11 Don't kill them, or my people might forget; instead, by your power shake them up and bring them down, you who are our shield and my Lord.

12 For the sin of their mouths, the words that they speak, let them be captured in their pride. For the curses and lies they repeat,

13 finish them off in anger; finish them off until they are gone! Then let it be known to the ends of the earth that God rules over Jacob. Selah

14 They come back every evening, growling like dogs, prowling around the city.

15 They roam about for food, and if they don't get their fill, they stay all night.

16 But me? I will sing of your strength! In the morning I will shout out loud about your faithful love because you have been my stronghold, my shelter when I was distraught.

17 I will sing praises to you, my strength, because God is my stronghold, my loving God.

English Standard Version ESV

1 Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; protect me from those who rise up against me;

2 deliver me from those who work evil, and save me from bloodthirsty men.

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,

4 for no fault of mine, they run and make ready. Awake, come to meet me, and see!

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. Selah

6 Each evening they come back, howling like dogs and prowling about the city.

7 There they are, bellowing with their mouths with swords in their lips—for “Who, ” they think, “will hear us? ”

8 But you, O Lord, laugh at them; you hold all the nations in derision.

9 O my Strength, I will watch for you, for you, O God, are my fortress.

10 My God in his steadfast love will meet me; God will let me look in triumph on my enemies.

11 Kill them not, lest my people forget; make them totter by your power and bring them down, O Lord, our shield!

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,

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. Selah

14 Each evening they come back, howling like dogs and prowling about the city.

15 They wander about for food and growl if they do not get their fill.

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.

17 O my Strength, I will sing praises to you, for you, O God, are my fortress, the God who shows me steadfast love.
