Psalms 59
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1(59-1) For the Leader; Al-tashheth. A Psalm of David; Michtam; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him. (59-2) Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God; set me on high from them that rise up against me.
1In finem, pro his qui immutabuntur, in tituli inscriptionem ipsi David, in doctrinam,
2(59-3) Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from the men of blood.
2cum succendit Mesopotamiam Syriæ et Sobal, et convertit Joab, et percussit Idumæam in valle Salinarum duodecim millia.
3(59-4) For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul; the impudent gather themselves together against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O LORD.
3[Deus, repulisti nos, et destruxisti nos; iratus es, et misertus es nobis.
4(59-5) Without my fault, they run and prepare themselves; awake Thou to help me, and behold.
4Commovisti terram, et conturbasti eam; sana contritiones ejus, quia commota est.
5(59-6) Thou therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, arouse Thyself to punish all the nations; show no mercy to any iniquitous traitors. Selah
5Ostendisti populo tuo dura; potasti nos vino compunctionis.
6(59-7) They return at evening, they howl like a dog, and go round about the city.
6Dedisti metuentibus te significationem, ut fugiant a facie arcus; ut liberentur dilecti tui.
7(59-8) Behold, they belch out with their mouth; swords are in their lips: 'For who doth hear?'
7Salvum fac dextera tua, et exaudi me.
8(59-9) But Thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; Thou shalt have all the nations in derision.
8Deus locutus est in sancto suo: lætabor, et partibor Sichimam; et convallem tabernaculorum metibor.
9(59-10) Because of his strength, I will wait for Thee; for God is my high tower.
9Meus est Galaad, et meus est Manasses; et Ephraim fortitudo capitis mei. Juda rex meus;
10(59-11) The God of my mercy will come to meet me; God will let me gaze upon mine adversaries.
10Moab olla spei meæ. In Idumæam extendam calceamentum meum: mihi alienigenæ subditi sunt.
11(59-12) Slay them not, lest my people forget, make them wander to and fro by Thy power, and bring them down, O Lord our shield.
11Quis deducet me in civitatem munitam? quis deducet me usque in Idumæam?
12(59-13) 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.
12nonne tu, Deus, qui repulisti nos? et non egredieris, Deus, in virtutibus nostris?
13(59-14) Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they be no more; and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob, unto the ends of the earth. Selah
13Da nobis auxilium de tribulatione, quia vana salus hominis.
14(59-15) And they return at evening, they howl like a dog, and go round about the city;
14In Deo faciemus virtutem; et ipse ad nihilum deducet tribulantes nos.]
15(59-16) They wander up and down to devour, and tarry all night if they have not their fill.
