Mazmur 59:5

59:5 You, O Lord God, the invincible warrior, ¹  the God of Israel,

rouse yourself and punish ²  all the nations!

Have no mercy on any treacherous evildoers! (Selah)

Mazmur 59:12

59:12 They speak sinful words. ³ 

So let them be trapped by their own pride

and by the curses and lies they speak!

[59:5]  ¹ tn Heb “Lord, God, Hosts.” One expects the construct form אֱלֹהֵי (’elohey) before צְבָאוֹת (tsÿva’ot, “hosts”). See Ps 89:9, but יְהוָה אֱלֹהִים (yÿhvah ’elohim) precedes צְבָאוֹת (tsÿva’ot) in Pss 80:4, 19; 84:8 as well.

[59:5]  ² tn Heb “wake up to punish” (see Pss 35:23; 44:23).

[59:12]  ³ tn Heb “the sin of their mouth [is] the word of their lips.”
