[For the music director; according to the al-tashcheth style; a prayer of David, written when Saul sent men to surround his house and murder him.] Deliver me from my enemies, my God! Protect me from those who attack me! |
2
|
Deliver me from evildoers! Rescue me from violent men! |
3
|
For look, they wait to ambush me; powerful men stalk me, but not because I have rebelled or sinned, O LORD. |
4
|
Though I have done nothing wrong, they are anxious to attack. Spring into action and help me! Take notice of me! |
5
|
You, O LORD God, the invincible warrior, the God of Israel, rouse yourself and punish all the nations! Have no mercy on any treacherous evildoers! (Selah) |
6
|
They return in the evening; they growl like a dog and prowl around outside the city. |
7
|
Look, they hurl insults at me and openly threaten to kill me, for they say, "Who hears?" |
8
|
But you, O LORD, laugh in disgust at them; you taunt all the nations. |
9
|
You are my source of strength! I will wait for you! For God is my refuge. |
10
|
The God who loves me will help me; God will enable me to triumph over my enemies. |
11
|
Do not strike them dead suddenly, because then my people might forget the lesson. Use your power to make them homeless vagabonds and then bring them down, O Lord who shields us! |
12
|
They speak sinful words. So let them be trapped by their own pride and by the curses and lies they speak! |
13
|
Angrily wipe them out! Wipe them out so they vanish! Let them know that God rules in Jacob and to the ends of the earth! (Selah) |
14
|
They return in the evening; they growl like a dog and prowl around outside the city. |
15
|
They wander around looking for something to eat; they refuse to sleep until they are full. |
16
|
As for me, I will sing about your strength; I will praise your loyal love in the morning. For you are my refuge and my place of shelter when I face trouble. |
17
|
You are my source of strength! I will sing praises to you! For God is my refuge, the God who loves me. |
