59:1

Book II: The Miktam of the House Siege and the Morning Song of Strength

To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Miktam of Dawid; when Sha'ul sent, and they watched the house to kill him. Deliver me from mine enemies, O my Alahiym: defend me from them that rise up against me.
59:2
Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men.
59:3
For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄.
59:4
They run and prepare themselves without my fault: awake to help me, and behold.
59:5
Thou therefore, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 Alahiym of hosts, the Alahiym of Yashar'al, awake to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah.
59:6

The Dog Matrix

They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
59:7
Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, doth hear?
59:8
But thou, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision.
59:9
Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: for Alahiym is my defence.
59:10
The Alahiym of my mercy shall prevent me: Alahiym shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies.
59:11

The Scattering Decree

Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Adunay our shield.
59:12
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.
59:13
Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be: and let them know that Alahiym ruleth in Ya'aqob unto the ends of the earth. Selah.
59:14

The Morning Song

And at evening let them return; and let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
59:15
Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be not satisfied.
59:16
But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble.
59:17
Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for Alahiym is my defence, and the Alahiym of my mercy.
