Salmos 59— comparação

1Livra-me dos meus inimigos, meu Deus.

2Livra-me dos que praticam a iniquidade.

3Pois, eis que eles ficam à espreita pela minha vida.

4Eu não fiz nada de errado, mas eles estão prontos para me atacar.

5Tu, SENHOR Deus dos Exércitos, o Deus de Israel,

6Eles retornam à tarde, uivando como cães,

7Eis que eles jorram palavras com a boca.

8Mas tu, SENHOR, ris deles.

9Ó minha Força, eu espero por ti,

10Meu Deus irá adiante de mim com o seu amor leal.

11Não os mates, para que o meu povo não se esqueça.

12Pelo pecado da sua boca, e pelas palavras dos seus lábios,

13Consome-os na tua ira.

14À tarde, que eles retornem.

15Eles vagarão de um lado para outro por comida,

16Mas eu cantarei da tua força.

17A ti, minha força, eu cantarei louvores.

1Deliver me from my enemies, my God. Set me on high from those who rise up against me.

2Deliver me from the workers of iniquity. Save me from the bloodthirsty men.

3For, behold, they lie in wait for my soul. The mighty gather themselves together against me, not for my disobedience, nor for my sin, Yahweh.

4I have done no wrong, yet they are ready to attack me. Rise up, behold, and help me!

5You, Yahweh God of Armies, the God of Israel, rouse yourself to punish the nations. Show no mercy to the wicked traitors. s Selah. s*

6They return at evening, howling like dogs, and prowl around the city.

7Behold, they spew with their mouth. Swords are in their lips, “For”, they say, “who hears us?”

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

9Oh, my Strength, I watch for you, for God is my high tower.

10My God will go before me with his loving kindness. God will let me look at my enemies in triumph.

11Don’t kill them, or my people may forget. Scatter them by your power, and bring them down, Lord our shield.

12For 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.

13Consume 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. s Selah. s*

14At evening let them return. Let them howl like a dog, and go around the city.

15They shall wander up and down for food, and wait all night if they aren’t satisfied.

16But 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.

17To you, my strength, I will sing praises. For God is my high tower, the God of my mercy.
