TO THE CHOIRMASTER: ACCORDING TO DO NOT DESTROY. A MIKTAM OF DAVID, WHEN SAUL SENT MEN TO WATCH HIS HOUSE IN ORDER TO KILL HIM. Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; protect me from those who rise up against me; |
2
|
deliver me from those who work evil, and save me from bloodthirsty men. |
3
|
For behold, they lie in wait for my life; fierce men stir up strife against me. For no transgression or sin of mine, O LORD, |
4
|
for no fault of mine, they run and make ready. Awake, come to meet me, and see! |
5
|
You, LORD God of hosts, are God of Israel. Rouse yourself to punish all the nations; spare none of those who treacherously plot evil. Selah |
6
|
Each evening they come back, howling like dogs and prowling about the city. |
7
|
There they are, bellowing with their mouths with swords in their lips- for "Who," they think, "will hear us?" |
8
|
But you, O LORD, laugh at them; you hold all the nations in derision. |
9
|
O my Strength, I will watch for you, for you, O God, are my fortress. |
10
|
My God in his steadfast love will meet me; God will let me look in triumph on my enemies. |
11
|
Kill them not, lest my people forget; make them totter by your power and bring them down, O Lord, our shield! |
12
|
For the sin of their mouths, the words of their lips, let them be trapped in their pride. For the cursing and lies that they utter, |
13
|
consume them in wrath; consume them till they are no more, that they may know that God rules over Jacob to the ends of the earth. Selah |
14
|
Each evening they come back, howling like dogs and prowling about the city. |
15
|
They wander about for food and growl if they do not get their fill. |
16
|
But I will sing of your strength; I will sing aloud of your steadfast love in the morning. For you have been to me a fortress and a refuge in the day of my distress. |
17
|
O my Strength, I will sing praises to you, for you, O God, are my fortress, the God who shows me steadfast love. |
