See Hebrew/Greek in BSB →

59Verse 1(For the one directing. Set to Do Not Destroy. Mikhtam Dovid. When Sha'ul sent and they watched [Dovid's] bais to kill him)Verse 2Save me from mine enemies, O Elohai;
protect me from them that rise up against me.
Verse 3Deliver me from the po'alei aven (workers of iniquity),
and save me from anshei damim (bloody men).
Verse 4For, hinei, they lie in wait for my nefesh;
the fierce stir up strife against me;
not for my peysha, nor for my chattat, Hashem.
Verse 5They run and prepare themselves without my avon (wrong, fault);
awake to help me, and see.
Verse 6Thou therefore, Hashem Elohim Tzva'os,
Elohei Yisroel,
rouse Thyself to visit+kol HaGoyim;
be not merciful to any bogedei aven (wicked boged).+
Selah
Verse 7They return at erev;
they growl like a kelev (dog),
and prowl around the Ir.
Verse 8Hinei, they belch out with their mouth;
charavot (swords) are in their sfatot (lips);
for who, say they, doth hear?
Verse 9But Thou, Hashem, shalt laugh at them;
Thou shalt have all the Goyim in derision.
Verse 10O my Strength, I will be shomer to watch for Thee;
for Elohim is my stronghold.
Verse 11The G-d of my chesed shall come to meet me;
Elohim shall let me see [the end] of my shorer (watchers).+
Verse 12Slay them not, lest my people forget;
scatter them by Thy power;
and bring them down, Adonoi mogineinu (our Shield).
Verse 13For 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.
Verse 14Consume 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
Verse 15And at erev let them return;
and let them growl like a kelev,
and prowl around the Ir.
Verse 16Let them wander up and down for okhel (food),
and howl if they be not satisfied.
Verse 17But 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.
Verse 18Unto Thee, O my Strength, will I sing;
for Elohim is my strongold, and the Elohim of my chesed.
