Tehillim 59:9-17 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

9. O my Strength, I will be shomer to watch for Thee; for Elohim is my stronghold.

10. The G-d of my chesed shall come to meet me; Elohim shall let me see [the end] of my shorer (watchers, [i.e., slandering foes insidiously fixated on me and lying in wait]).

11. Slay them not, lest my people forget; scatter them by Thy power; and bring them down, Adonoi mogineinu (our Shield).

12. For the chattat of their mouth and the davar of their sfatayim let them even be caught in their ga'on (pride); and for the cursing and lying which they speak.

13. Consume them in chemah (wrath), consume them, till they are no more; and let them know that Elohim ruleth in Ya'akov unto the ends of ha'aretz. Selah.

14. And at erev let them return; and let them growl like a kelev, and prowl around the Ir.

15. Let them wander up and down for okhel (food), and howl if they be not satisfied.

16. But I will sing of Thy oz; yes, I will sing aloud of Thy chesed in the boker; for Thou hast been my stronghold and refuge in the day of my tzoros.

17. Unto Thee, O my Strength, will I sing; for Elohim is my strongold, and the Elohim of my chesed.
