Ketuvim
Tehillim57
Psalms · Chapter 57
Be merciful unto me, O Elohim, be merciful unto me: for my nephesh trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until
these
calamities be overpast.
I will cry unto Elohim most high; unto Elohim that performeth
all things
for me.
He shall send from shamayim, and save
from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah. Elohim shall send forth his mercy and his truth.
My nephesh
is among lions:
and I lie
even among
them that are set on fire,
even the sons of men, whose teeth
are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
Be thou exalted, O Elohim, above the shamayim;
let thy glory
be above all the earth.
They have prepared a net for my steps; my nephesh is bowed down: they have digged a pit before me, into the midst whereof they are fallen
themselves.
Selah.
My heart is fixed, O Elohim, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise.
Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I
myself will awake early.
I will praise thee, O master, among the people: I will sing unto thee among the nations.
For thy mercy is great unto the shamayim, and thy truth unto the clouds.
Be thou exalted, O Elohim, above the shamayim:
let thy glory
be above all the earth.
Ketuvim
Tehillim58
Psalms · Chapter 58
Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?
Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.
The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
Their poison
is like the poison of a serpent:
they are
like the deaf adder
that stoppeth her ear;
Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.
Break their teeth, O Elohim, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).
Let them melt away as waters
which run continually:
when
he bendeth
his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces.
As a snail
which melteth, let
every one of them
pass away:
like the untimely birth of a woman,
that
they may not see the sun.
Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in
his wrath.
The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
So that a man shall say, Verily
there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a Elohim that judgeth in the earth.
Ketuvim
Tehillim59
Psalms · Chapter 59
Deliver me from mine enemies, O my Elohim: defend me from them that rise up against me.
Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men.
For, lo, they lie in wait for my nephesh: the mighty are gathered against me; not
for my transgression, nor
for my sin, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).
They run and prepare themselves without
my fault: awake to help me, and behold.
Thou therefore, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) Elohim of hosts, the Elohim of Yisra'el, awake to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah.
They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords
are in their lips: for who,
say they, doth hear?
But thou, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision.
Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: for Elohim
is my defence.
The Elohim of my mercy shall prevent me: Elohim shall let me see
my desire upon mine enemies.
Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O master our shield.
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.
Consume
them in wrath, consume
them, that they
may not
be: and let them know that Elohim ruleth in Ya'aqov unto the ends of the earth. Selah.
And at evening let them return;
and let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be not satisfied.
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.
Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for Elohim
is my defence,
and the Elohim of my mercy.
