Psalm 59

New Living Translation NLT

1 Rescue me from my enemies, O God. Protect me from those who have come to destroy me.

2 Rescue me from these criminals; save me from these murderers.

3 They have set an ambush for me. Fierce enemies are out there waiting, LORD, though I have not sinned or offended them.

4 I have done nothing wrong, yet they prepare to attack me. Wake up! See what is happening and help me!

5 O LORD God of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, wake up and punish those hostile nations. Show no mercy to wicked traitors. Interlude

6 They come out at night, snarling like vicious dogs as they prowl the streets.

7 Listen to the filth that comes from their mouths; their words cut like swords. “After all, who can hear us?” they sneer.

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

9 You are my strength; I wait for you to rescue me, for you, O God, are my fortress.

10 In his unfailing love, my God will stand with me. He will let me look down in triumph on all my enemies.

11 Don’t kill them, for my people soon forget such lessons; stagger them with your power, and bring them to their knees, O Lord our shield.

12 Because of the sinful things they say, because of the evil that is on their lips, let them be captured by their pride, their curses, and their lies.

13 Destroy them in your anger! Wipe them out completely! Then the whole world will know that God reigns in Israel. Interlude

14 My enemies come out at night, snarling like vicious dogs as they prowl the streets.

15 They scavenge for food but go to sleep unsatisfied.

16 But as for me, I will sing about your power. Each morning I will sing with joy about your unfailing love. For you have been my refuge, a place of safety when I am in distress.

17 O my Strength, to you I sing praises, for you, O God, are my refuge, the God who shows me unfailing love.

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.
