Psalms 59 — 4 originals side by side

Versification differs between traditions. Columns are aligned by verse number; where a text has no such verse the cell is left blank rather than forced into line. Tap any word for a gloss.

⚠️ The Chinese and English alongside are the CUV and the WEB, both translated from the Masoretic Text; they follow a different textual tradition from the Greek and Latin shown here and will disagree in places.
ℹ️ Some verses here have no matching verse in the public-domain translations (the Psalm superscriptions are not numbered verses in the CUV or the WEB). Those verses were translated by this site with AI (Claude), not taken from the WEB.

לַמְנַצֵּ֣חַ אַל־תַּשְׁחֵת֮ לְדָוִ֢ד מִ֫כְתָּ֥ם בִּשְׁלֹ֥חַ שָׁא֑וּל וַֽיִּשְׁמְר֥וּ אֶת־הַ֝בַּ֗יִת לַהֲמִיתֽוֹ׃
εἰς τὸ τέλος μὴ διαφθείρῃς τῷ Δαυιδ εἰς στηλογραφίαν ὁπότε ἀπέστειλεν Σαουλ καὶ ἐφύλαξεν τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ τοῦ θανατῶσαι αὐτόν
In finem, ne disperdas. David in tituli inscriptionem, quando misit Saul et custodivit domum ejus ut eum interficeret.

59:1
הַצִּילֵ֖נִי מֵאֹיְבַ֥י׀אֱלֹהָ֑י מִֽמִּתְקוֹמְמַ֥י תְּשַׂגְּבֵֽנִי׃
ἐξελοῦ με ἐκ τῶν ἐχθρῶν μου ὁ θεός καὶ ἐκ τῶν ἐπανιστανομένων ἐπ’ ἐμὲ λύτρωσαί με
Eripe me de inimicis meis, Deus meus, et ab insurgentibus in me libera me.

59:2
הַ֭צִּילֵנִי מִפֹּ֣עֲלֵי אָ֑וֶן וּֽמֵאַנְשֵׁ֥י דָ֝מִ֗ים הוֹשִׁיעֵֽנִי׃
ῥῦσαί με ἐκ τῶν ἐργαζομένων τὴν ἀνομίαν καὶ ἐξ ἀνδρῶν αἱμάτων σῶσόν με
Eripe me de operantibus iniquitatem, et de viris sanguinum salva me.
—
Deliver me from the workers of iniquity. Save me from the bloodthirsty men.
59:3
כִּ֤י הִנֵּ֪ה אָרְב֡וּ לְנַפְשִׁ֗י יָג֣וּרוּ עָלַ֣י עַזִּ֑ים לֹֽא־פִשְׁעִ֖י וְלֹא־חַטָּאתִ֣י יְהֹוָֽה׃
ὅτι ἰδοὺ ἐθήρευσαν τὴν ψυχήν μου ἐπέθεντο ἐπ’ ἐμὲ κραταιοί οὔτε ἡ ἀνομία μου οὔτε ἡ ἁμαρτία μου κύριε
Quia ecce ceperunt animam meam ; irruerunt in me fortes.
—
For, behold, they lie in wait for my soul. The mighty gather themselves together against me, not for my disobedience, nor for my sin, Yahweh.
59:4
בְּֽלִי־עָ֭וֺן יְרֻצ֣וּן וְיִכּוֹנָ֑נוּ ע֖וּרָה לִקְרָאתִ֣י וּרְאֵֽה׃
ἄνευ ἀνομίας ἔδραμον καὶ κατεύθυναν ἐξεγέρθητι εἰς συνάντησίν μου καὶ ἰδέ
Neque iniquitas mea, neque peccatum meum, Domine ; sine iniquitate cucurri, et direxi.
—
I have done no wrong, yet they are ready to attack me. Rise up, behold, and help me!
59:5
וְאַתָּ֤ה יְהֹוָֽה־אֱלֹהִ֥ים׀צְבָא֡וֹת אֱלֹ֘הֵ֤י יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל הָקִ֗יצָה לִפְקֹ֥ד כׇּֽל־הַגּוֹיִ֑ם אַל־תָּחֹ֨ן כׇּל־בֹּ֖גְדֵי אָ֣וֶן סֶֽלָה׃
καὶ σύ κύριε ὁ θεὸς τῶν δυνάμεων ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ πρόσχες τοῦ ἐπισκέψασθαι πάντα τὰ ἔθνη μὴ οἰκτιρήσῃς πάντας τοὺς ἐργαζομένους τὴν ἀνομίαν διάψαλμα
Exsurge in occursum meum, et vide : et tu, Domine Deus virtutum, Deus Israël, intende ad visitandas omnes gentes : non miserearis omnibus qui operantur iniquitatem.
—
You, Yahweh God of Armies, the God of Israel, rouse yourself to punish the nations. Show no mercy to the wicked traitors. Selah.
59:6
יָשׁ֣וּבוּ לָ֭עֶרֶב יֶהֱמ֥וּ כַכָּ֗לֶב וִיס֥וֹבְבוּ עִֽיר׃
ἐπιστρέψουσιν εἰς ἑσπέραν καὶ λιμώξουσιν ὡς κύων καὶ κυκλώσουσιν πόλιν
Convertentur ad vesperam, et famem patientur ut canes : et circuibunt civitatem.
—
They return at evening, howling like dogs, and prowl around the city.
59:7
הִנֵּ֤ה׀ יַבִּ֘יע֤וּן בְּפִיהֶ֗ם חֲ֭רָבוֹת בְּשִׂפְתֽוֹתֵיהֶ֑ם כִּי־מִ֥י שֹׁמֵֽעַ׃
ἰδοὺ ἀποφθέγξονται ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτῶν καὶ ῥομφαία ἐν τοῖς χείλεσιν αὐτῶν ὅτι τίς ἤκουσεν
Ecce loquentur in ore suo, et gladius in labiis eorum : quoniam quis audivit ?
ፍጻሜ ፡ ኢታማስን ፡ ዘዳዊት ፡ አርአየ ፡ ምስሐፍ ፤ አመ ፡ ፈነወ ፡ ሳኦል ፡ ይዕቀቡ ፡ ቤቶ ፡ ከመ ፡ ይቅትሎ ። አድኅነኒ ፡ እግዚኦ ፡ እምፀርየ ፤ ወአንግፈኒ ፡ እምእለ ፡ ቆሙ ፡ ላዕሌየ ።
Behold, they spew with their mouth. Swords are in their lips, “For”, they say, “who hears us?”
59:8
וְאַתָּ֣ה יְ֭הֹוָה תִּשְׂחַק־לָ֑מוֹ תִּ֝לְעַ֗ג לְכׇל־גּוֹיִֽם׃
καὶ σύ κύριε ἐκγελάσῃ αὐτούς ἐξουδενώσεις πάντα τὰ ἔθνη
Et tu, Domine, deridebis eos ; ad nihilum deduces omnes gentes.
ወባልሐኒ ፡ እምገበርተ ፡ ዐመፃ ፤ ወአድኅነኒ ፡ እምዕድወ ፡ ደም ።
But you, Yahweh, laugh at them. You scoff at all the nations.
59:9
עֻ֭זּוֹ אֵלֶ֣יךָ אֶשְׁמֹ֑רָה כִּֽי־אֱ֝לֹהִ֗ים מִשְׂגַּבִּֽי׃
τὸ κράτος μου πρὸς σὲ φυλάξω ὅτι ὁ θεὸς ἀντιλήμπτωρ μου εἶ
Fortitudinem meam ad te custodiam, quia, Deus, susceptor meus es :
እስመ ፡ ናሁ ፡ ናዐውዋ ፡ ለነፍስየ ፤ ወቆሙ ፡ ላዕሌየ ፡ ኀያላን ፤
Oh, my Strength, I watch for you, for God is my high tower.
59:10
אֱלֹהֵ֣י (חסדו) [חַסְדִּ֣י] יְקַדְּמֵ֑נִי אֱ֝לֹהִ֗ים יַרְאֵ֥נִי בְשֹׁרְרָֽי׃
ὁ θεός μου τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ προφθάσει με ὁ θεὸς δείξει μοι ἐν τοῖς ἐχθροῖς μου
Deus meus misericordia ejus praeveniet me.
አኮ ፡ በአበሳየ ፡ ወአኮ ፡ በጌጋይየ ፡ እግዚኦ ። ዘእንበለ ፡ ዐመፃ ፡ ሮጽኩ ፡ ወአርታዕኩ ፤
My God will go before me with his loving kindness. God will let me look at my enemies in triumph.
59:11
אַל־תַּהַרְגֵ֤ם׀ פֶּֽן־יִשְׁכְּח֬וּ עַמִּ֗י הֲנִיעֵ֣מוֹ בְ֭חֵילְךָ וְהוֹרִידֵ֑מוֹ מָ֖גִנֵּ֣נוּ אֲדֹנָֽי׃
μὴ ἀποκτείνῃς αὐτούς μήποτε ἐπιλάθωνται τοῦ λαοῦ μου διασκόρπισον αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ δυνάμει σου καὶ κατάγαγε αὐτούς ὁ ὑπερασπιστής μου κύριε
Deus ostendet mihi super inimicos meos : ne occidas eos, nequando obliviscantur populi mei. Disperge illos in virtute tua, et depone eos, protector meus, Domine :
ተንሥእ ፡ ተቀበለኒ ፡ ወርኢ ። አንተ ፡ እግዚኦ ፡ አምላከ ፡ ኀያላን ፡ ንጉሠ ፡ እስራኤል ፡
Don’t kill them, or my people may forget. Scatter them by your power, and bring them down, Lord our shield.
59:12
חַטַּאת־פִּ֗ימוֹ דְּֽבַר־שְׂפָ֫תֵ֥ימוֹ וְיִלָּכְד֥וּ בִגְאוֹנָ֑ם וּמֵאָלָ֖ה וּמִכַּ֣חַשׁ יְסַפֵּֽרוּ׃
ἁμαρτίαν στόματος αὐτῶν λόγον χειλέων αὐτῶν καὶ συλλημφθήτωσαν ἐν τῇ ὑπερηφανίᾳ αὐτῶν καὶ ἐξ ἀρᾶς καὶ ψεύδους διαγγελήσονται συντέλειαι
delictum oris eorum, sermonem labiorum ipsorum ; et comprehendantur in superbia sua. Et de execratione et mendacio annuntiabuntur
ሐውጾሙ ፡ ለኵሎሙ ፡ አሕዛብ ፡ ወተሣሀሎሙ ፤ ወኢትሣሀሎሙ ፡ ለኵሎሙ ፡ ገበርተ ፡ ዐመፃ ።
For the sin of their mouth, and the words of their lips, let them be caught in their pride, for the curses and lies which they utter.
59:13
כַּלֵּ֥ה בְחֵמָה֮ כַּלֵּ֢ה וְֽאֵ֫ינֵ֥מוֹ וְֽיֵדְע֗וּ כִּֽי־אֱ֭לֹהִים מֹשֵׁ֣ל בְּֽיַעֲקֹ֑ב לְאַפְסֵ֖י הָאָ֣רֶץ סֶֽלָה׃
ἐν ὀργῇ συντελείας καὶ οὐ μὴ ὑπάρξωσιν καὶ γνώσονται ὅτι ὁ θεὸς δεσπόζει τοῦ Ιακωβ τῶν περάτων τῆς γῆς διάψαλμα
in consummatione : in ira consummationis, et non erunt. Et scient quia Deus dominabitur Jacob, et finium terrae.
ይትመየጡ ፡ ሰርከ ፡ ወይርኀቡ ፡ ከመ ፡ ከልብ ፤ ወይዑዱ ፡ ሀገር ።
Consume them in wrath. Consume them, and they will be no more. Let them know that God rules in Jacob, to the ends of the earth. Selah.
59:14
וְיָשֻׁ֣בוּ לָ֭עֶרֶב יֶהֱמ֥וּ כַכָּ֗לֶב וִיס֥וֹבְבוּ עִֽיר׃
ἐπιστρέψουσιν εἰς ἑσπέραν καὶ λιμώξουσιν ὡς κύων καὶ κυκλώσουσιν πόλιν
Convertentur ad vesperam, et famem patientur ut canes : et circuibunt civitatem.
ናሁ ፡ ይነቡ ፡ በአፉሆሙ ፡ ወሰይፍ ፡ ውስተ ፡ ከናፍሪሆሙ ፤ ወዘሂ ፡ ይሰምዖሙ ።
At evening let them return. Let them howl like a dog, and go around the city.
59:15
הֵ֭מָּה (ינועון) [יְנִיע֣וּן] לֶאֱכֹ֑ל אִם־לֹ֥א יִ֝שְׂבְּע֗וּ וַיָּלִֽינוּ׃
αὐτοὶ διασκορπισθήσονται τοῦ φαγεῖν ἐὰν δὲ μὴ χορτασθῶσιν καὶ γογγύσουσιν
Ipsi dispergentur ad manducandum ; si vero non fuerint saturati, et murmurabunt.
ወአንተ ፡ እግዚኦ ፡ ትስሕቆሙ ፤ ወነንኮሙ ፡ ለኵሎሙ ፡ አሕዛብ ።
They shall wander up and down for food, and wait all night if they aren’t satisfied.
59:16
וַאֲנִ֤י׀ אָשִׁ֣יר עֻזֶּךָ֮ וַאֲרַנֵּ֥ן לַבֹּ֗קֶר חַ֫סְדֶּ֥ךָ כִּֽי־הָיִ֣יתָ מִשְׂגָּ֣ב לִ֑י וּ֝מָנ֗וֹס בְּי֣וֹם צַר־לִֽי׃
ἐγὼ δὲ ᾄσομαι τῇ δυνάμει σου καὶ ἀγαλλιάσομαι τὸ πρωὶ τὸ ἔλεός σου ὅτι ἐγενήθης ἀντιλήμπτωρ μου καὶ καταφυγὴ ἐν ἡμέρᾳ θλίψεώς μου
Ego autem cantabo fortitudinem tuam, et exsultabo mane misericordiam tuam : quia factus es susceptor meus, et refugium meum in die tribulationis meae.
ኣምኀፅን ፡ ኀቤከ ፡ ኀይልየ ፤ እስመ ፡ አምላኪየ ፡ ወምስካይየ ፡ አንተ ። ይብጽሐኒ ፡ ሣህሉ ፡ ለአምላኪየ ፤
But I will sing of your strength. Yes, I will sing aloud of your loving kindness in the morning. For you have been my high tower, a refuge in the day of my distress.
59:17
עֻ֭זִּי אֵלֶ֣יךָ אֲזַמֵּ֑רָה כִּֽי־אֱלֹהִ֥ים מִ֝שְׂגַּבִּ֗י אֱלֹהֵ֥י חַסְדִּֽי׃ {פ}
βοηθός μου σοὶ ψαλῶ ὅτι ὁ θεός ἀντιλήμπτωρ μου εἶ ὁ θεός μου τὸ ἔλεός μου
Adjutor meus, tibi psallam, quia Deus susceptor meus es ; Deus meus, misericordia mea.

To you, my strength, I will sing praises. For God is my high tower, the God of my mercy.
