1. To the Chief Musician. Set to 'Do Not Destroy.' A Michtam of David when Saul sent men, and they watched the house in order to kill him. Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; Defend me from those who rise up against me. | |
2. Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, And save me from bloodthirsty men. | |
3. For look, they lie in wait for my life; The mighty gather against me, Not for my transgression nor for my sin, O Lord. | |
4. They run and prepare themselves through no fault of mine. Awake to help me, and behold! | |
5. You therefore, O Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel, Awake to punish all the nations; Do not be merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah | |
6. At evening they return, They growl like a dog, And go all around the city. | |
7. Indeed, they belch with their mouth; Swords are in their lips; For they say, "Who hears?" | |
8. But You, O Lord, shall laugh at them; You shall have all the nations in derision. | |
9. I will wait for You, O You his Strength; For God is my defense; | |
10. My God of mercy shall come to meet me; God shall let me see my desire on my enemies. | |
11. Do not slay them, lest my people forget; Scatter them by Your power, And bring them down, O Lord our shield. | |
12. For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips, Let them even be taken in their pride, And for the cursing and lying which they speak. | |
13. Consume them in wrath, consume them, That they may not be; And let them know that God rules in Jacob To the ends of the earth. Selah | |
14. And at evening they return, They growl like a dog, And go all around the city. | |
15. They wander up and down for food, And howl if they are not satisfied. | |
16. But I will sing of Your power; Yes, I will sing aloud of Your mercy in the morning; For You have been my defense And refuge in the day of my trouble. | |
17. To You, O my Strength, I will sing praises; For God is my defense, My God of mercy. |
