Psalm 59

Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible RHE

1 (58-1) <Unto the end, destroy not, for David for an inscription of a title, when Saul sent and watched his house to kill him.> (58-2) Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; and defend me from them that rise up against me.

2 (58-3) Deliver me from them that work iniquity, and save me from bloody men.

3 (58-4) For behold they have caught my soul: the mighty have rushed in upon me:

4 (58-5) Neither is it my iniquity, nor my sin, O Lord: without iniquity have I been, and directed my steps.

5 (58-6) Rise up thou to meet me, and behold: even thou, O Lord, the God of hosts, the God of Israel. Attend to visit all the nations: have no mercy on all them that work iniquity.

6 (58-7) They shall return at evening, and shall suffer hunger like dogs: and shall go round about the city.

7 (58-8) Behold they shall speak with their mouth, and a sword is in their lips: for who, say they, hath heard us?

8 (58-9) But thou, O Lord, shalt laugh at them: thou shalt bring all the nations to nothing.

9 (58-10) I will keep my strength to thee: for thou art my protector:

10 (58-11) My God, his mercy shall prevent me.

11 (58-12) God shall let me see over my enemies: slay them not, lest at any time my people forget. Scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Lord, my protector:

12 (58-13) For the sin of their mouth, and the word of their lips: and let them be taken in their pride. And for their cursing and lying they shall be talked of,

13 (58-14) When they are consumed: when they are consumed by thy wrath, and they shall be no more. And they shall know that God will rule Jacob, and all the ends of the earth.

14 (58-15) They shall return at evening and shall suffer hunger like dogs: and shall go round about the city.

15 (58-16) They shall be scattered abroad to eat, and shall murmur if they be not filled.

16 (58-17) But I will sing thy strength: and will extol thy mercy in the morning. For thou art become my support, and my refuge, in the day of my trouble.

17 (58-18) Unto thee, O my helper, will I sing, for thou art God my defence: my God my mercy.

New Revised Standard NRS

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; from the bloodthirsty save me.

3 Even now they lie in wait for my life; the mighty 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. Rouse yourself, come to my help and see!

5 You, Lord God of hosts, are God of Israel. Awake 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 sharp words on their lips— for "Who," they think, "will hear us?"

8 But you laugh at them, O Lord; 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; my God will let me look in triumph on my enemies.

11 Do not kill them, or my people may 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 until they are no more. Then it will be known to the ends of the earth that God rules over Jacob. (Selah)

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

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

16 But I will sing of your might; I will sing aloud of your steadfast love in the morning. For you have been a fortress for me 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.
