Psalms 57:1--59:17

57:1

<
<To the chief Musician <05329> (8764)_,

Altaschith
<0516> (8686)_,

Michtam
<04387>

of David
<01732>_,

when he fled
<01272> (8800)

from
<06440>

Saul
<07586>

in the cave
<04631>.>>

Be merciful
<02603> (8798)

unto me, O God
<0430>_,

be merciful
<02603> (8798)

unto me: for my soul
<05315>

trusteth
<02620> (8804)

in thee: yea, in the shadow
<06738>

of thy wings
<03671>

will I make my refuge
<02620> (8799)_,

until [these] calamities
<01942>

be overpast
<05674> (8799)_.

{Altaschith: or, Destroy not} {Michtam: or, A golden Psalm}

57:2

I will cry
<07121> (8799)

unto God
<0430>

most high
<05945>_;

unto God
<0410>

that performeth
<01584> (8802)

[all things] for me.

57:3

He shall send
<07971> (8799)

from heaven
<08064>_,

and save
<03467> (8686)

me [from] the reproach
<02778> (8765)

of him that would swallow me up
<07602> (8802)_.

Selah
<05542>_.

God
<0430>

shall send forth
<07971> (8799)

his mercy
<02617>

and his truth
<0571>_.

{from the...: or, he reproacheth him that}

57:4

My soul
<05315>

[is] among
<08432>

lions
<03833>_:

[and] I lie
<07901> (8799)

[even among] them that are set on fire
<03857> (8802)_,

[even] the sons
<01121>

of men
<0120>_,

whose teeth
<08127>

[are] spears
<02595>

and arrows
<02671>_,

and their tongue
<03956>

a sharp
<02299>

sword
<02719>_.

57:5

Be thou exalted
<07311> (8798)_,

O God
<0430>_,

above the heavens
<08064>_;

[let] thy glory
<03519>

[be] above all the earth
<0776>_.

57:6

They have prepared
<03559> (8689)

a net
<07568>

for my steps
<06471>_;

my soul
<05315>

is bowed down
<03721> (8804)_:

they have digged
<03738> (8804)

a pit
<07882>

before
<06440>

me, into the midst
<08432>

whereof they are fallen
<05307> (8804)

[themselves]. Selah
<05542>_.

57:7

My heart
<03820>

is fixed
<03559> (8737)_,

O God
<0430>_,

my heart
<03820>

is fixed
<03559> (8737)_:

I will sing
<07891> (8799)

and give praise
<02167> (8762)_.

{fixed: or, prepared}

57:8

Awake up
<05782> (8798)_,

my glory
<03519>_;

awake
<05782> (8798)_,

psaltery
<05035>

and harp
<03658>_:

I [myself] will awake
<05782> (8686)

early
<07837>_.

57:9

I will praise
<03034> (8686)

thee, O Lord
<0136>_,

among the people
<05971>_:

I will sing
<02167> (8762)

unto thee among the nations
<03816>_.

57:10

For thy mercy
<02617>

[is] great
<01419>

unto the heavens
<08064>_,

and thy truth
<0571>

unto the clouds
<07834>_.

57:11

Be thou exalted
<07311> (8798)_,

O God
<0430>_,

above the heavens
<08064>_:

[let] thy glory
<03519>

[be] above all the earth
<0776>_.

58:1

<
<To the chief Musician <05329> (8764)_,

Altaschith
<0516> (8686)_,

Michtam
<04387>

of David
<01732>.>>

Do ye indeed
<0552>

speak
<01696> (8762)

righteousness
<06664>_,

O congregation
<0482>_?

do ye judge
<08199> (8799)

uprightly
<04339>_,

O ye sons
<01121>

of men
<0120>_?

{Altaschith...: or, Destroy not} {Michtam: or, A golden Psalm}

58:2

Yea, in heart
<03820>

ye work
<06466> (8799)

wickedness
<05766>_;

ye weigh
<06424> (8762)

the violence
<02555>

of your hands
<03027>

in the earth
<0776>_.

58:3

The wicked
<07563>

are estranged
<02114> (8804)

from the womb
<07358>_:

they go astray
<08582> (8804)

as soon as they be born
<0990>_,

speaking
<01696> (8802)

lies
<03577>_.

{as soon...: Heb. from the belly}

58:4

Their poison
<02534>

[is] like
<01823>

the poison
<02534>

of a serpent
<05175>_:

[they are] like the deaf
<02795>

adder
<06620>

[that] stoppeth
<0331> (8686)

her ear
<0241>_;

{like the poison: Heb. according to the likeness, etc} {adder: or, asp}

58:5

Which will not hearken
<08085> (8799)

to the voice
<06963>

of charmers
<03907> (8764)_,

charming
<02266> (8802) <02267>

never so wisely
<02449> (8794)_.

{charming...: or, be the charmer never so cunning}

58:6

Break
<02040> (8798)

their teeth
<08127>_,

O God
<0430>_,

in their mouth
<06310>_:

break out
<05422> (8800)

the great teeth
<04459>

of the young lions
<03715>_,

O LORD
<03068>_.

58:7

Let them melt away
<03988> (8735)

as waters
<04325>

[which] run continually
<01980> (8691)_:

[when] he bendeth
<01869> (8799)

[his bow to shoot] his arrows
<02671>_,

let them be as cut in pieces
<04135> (8709)_.

58:8

As a snail
<07642>

[which] melteth
<08557>_,

let [every one of them] pass away
<01980> (8799)_:

[like] the untimely birth
<05309>

of a woman
<0802>_,

[that] they may not see
<02372> (8804)

the sun
<08121>_.

58:9

Before your pots
<05518>

can feel
<0995> (8799)

the thorns
<0329>_,

he shall take them away as with a whirlwind
<08175> (8799)_,

both living
<02416>_,

and in [his] wrath
<02740>_.

{both...: Heb. as living as wrath}

58:10

The righteous
<06662>

shall rejoice
<08055> (8799)

when he seeth
<02372> (8804)

the vengeance
<05359>_:

he shall wash
<07364> (8799)

his feet
<06471>

in the blood
<01818>

of the wicked
<07563>_.

58:11

So that a man
<0120>

shall say
<0559> (8799)_,

Verily [there is] a reward
<06529>

for the righteous
<06662>_:

verily he is
<03426>

a God
<0430>

that judgeth
<08199> (8802)

in the earth
<0776>_.

{a reward...: Heb. fruit of the, etc}

59:1

<
<To the chief Musician <05329> (8764)_,

Altaschith
<0516> (8686)_,

Michtam
<04387>

of David
<01732>_;

when Saul
<07586>

sent
<07971> (8800)_,

and they watched
<08104> (8799)

the house
<01004>

to kill him
<04191> (8687).>>

Deliver
<05337> (8685)

me from mine enemies
<0341> (8802)_,

O my God
<0430>_:

defend
<07682> (8762)

me from them that rise up
<06965> (8693)

against me. {Altaschith...: or, Destroy not} {Michtam: or, A golden Psalm} {defend...: Heb. set me on high}

59:2

Deliver
<05337> (8685)

me from the workers
<06466> (8802)

of iniquity
<0205>_,

and save
<03467> (8685)

me from bloody
<01818>

men
<0582>_.

59:3

For, lo, they lie in wait
<0693> (8804)

for my soul
<05315>_:

the mighty
<05794>

are gathered
<01481> (8799)

against me; not [for] my transgression
<06588>_,

nor [for] my sin
<02403>_,

O LORD
<03068>_.

59:4

They run
<07323> (8799)

and prepare
<03559> (8709)

themselves without [my] fault
<05771>_:

awake
<05782> (8798)

to help
<07125> (8800)

me, and behold
<07200> (8798)_.

{help: Heb. meet}

59:5

Thou therefore, O LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of hosts
<06635>_,

the God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

awake
<06974> (8685)

to visit
<06485> (8800)

all the heathen
<01471>_:

be not merciful
<02603> (8799)

to any wicked
<0205>

transgressors
<0898> (8802)_.

Selah
<05542>_.

59:6

They return
<07725> (8799)

at evening
<06153>_:

they make a noise
<01993> (8799)

like a dog
<03611>_,

and go round about
<05437> (8779)

the city
<05892>_.

59:7

Behold, they belch out
<05042> (8686)

with their mouth
<06310>_:

swords
<02719>

[are] in their lips
<08193>_:

for who, [say they], doth hear
<08085> (8802)_?

59:8

But thou, O LORD
<03068>_,

shalt laugh
<07832> (8799)

at them; thou shalt have all the heathen
<01471>

in derision
<03932> (8799)_.

59:9

[Because of] his strength
<05797>

will I wait
<08104> (8799)

upon thee: for God
<0430>

[is] my defence
<04869>_.

{defence: Heb. high place}

59:10

The God
<0430>

of my mercy
<02617>

shall prevent
<06923> (8762)

me: God
<0430>

shall let me see
<07200> (8686)

[my desire] upon mine enemies
<08324> (8802)_.

{enemies: Heb. observers}

59:11

Slay
<02026> (8799)

them not, lest my people
<05971>

forget
<07911> (8799)_:

scatter
<05128> (8685)

them by thy power
<02428>_;

and bring them down
<03381> (8685)_,

O Lord
<0136>

our shield
<04043>_.

59:12

[For] the sin
<02403>

of their mouth
<06310>

[and] the words
<01697>

of their lips
<08193>

let them even be taken
<03920> (8735)

in their pride
<01347>_:

and for cursing
<0423>

and lying
<03585>

[which] they speak
<05608> (8762)_.

59:13

Consume
<03615> (8761)

[them] in wrath
<02534>_,

consume
<03615> (8761)

[them], that they [may] not [be]: and let them know
<03045> (8799)

that God
<0430>

ruleth
<04910> (8802)

in Jacob
<03290>

unto the ends
<0657>

of the earth
<0776>_.

Selah
<05542>_.

59:14

And at evening
<06153>

let them return
<07725> (8799)_;

[and] let them make a noise
<01993> (8799)

like a dog
<03611>_,

and go round about
<05437> (8779)

the city
<05892>_.

59:15

Let them wander up and down
<05128> (8686) (8675) <05128> (8799)

for meat
<0398> (8800)_,

and grudge
<03885> (8799)

if they be not satisfied
<07646> (8799)_.

{for meat: Heb. to eat} {and grudge...: or, if they be not satisfied, then they will stay all night}

59:16

But I will sing
<07891> (8799)

of thy power
<05797>_;

yea, I will sing aloud
<07442> (8762)

of thy mercy
<02617>

in the morning
<01242>_:

for thou hast been my defence
<04869>

and refuge
<04498>

in the day
<03117>

of my trouble
<06862>_.

59:17

Unto thee, O my strength
<05797>_,

will I sing
<02167> (8762)_:

for God
<0430>

[is] my defence
<04869>_,

[and] the God
<0430>

of my mercy
<02617>_.
