1 Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: Set me on high from them that rise up against me.
1Unto the end, for them that shall be changed, for the inscription of a title, to David himself, for doctrine,
1To the Overseer. --`Destroy not,' by David. --A secret treasure, in Saul's sending, and they watch the house to put him to death. Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God, From my withstanders set me on high.
2Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, And save me from the bloodthirsty men.
2When he set fire to Mesopotamia of Syria and Sobal: and Joab returned and slew of Edom, in the vale of the saltpits, twelve thousand men.
2Deliver me from workers of iniquity, And from men of blood save me.
3For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul; The mighty gather themselves together against me: Not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O Jehovah.
3O God, thou hast cast us off, and hast destroyed us; thou hast been angry, and hast had mercy on us.
3For, lo, they laid wait for my soul, Assembled against me are strong ones, Not my transgression nor my sin, O Jehovah.
4They run and prepare themselves without my fault: Awake thou to help me, and behold.
4Thou hast moved the earth, and hast troubled it: heal thou the breaches thereof, for it has been moved.
4Without punishment they run and prepare themselves, Stir up to meet me, and see.
5Even thou, O Jehovah God of hosts, the God of Israel, Arise to visit all the nations: Be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. [Selah
5Thou hast shewn thy people hard things; thou hast made us drink the wine of sorrow.
5And Thou, Jehovah, God of Hosts, God of Israel, Awake to inspect all the nations. Favour not any treacherous dealers of iniquity. Selah.
6They return at evening, they howl like a dog, And go round about the city.
6Thou hast given a warning to them that fear thee: that they may flee from before the bow: That thy beloved may be delivered.
6They turn back at evening, They make a noise like a dog, And go round about the city.
7Behold, they belch out with their mouth; Swords are in their lips: For who, say they, doth hear?
7Save me with thy right hand, and hear me.
7Lo, they belch out with their mouths, Swords <FI>are<Fi> in their lips, for `Who heareth?'
8But thou, O Jehovah, wilt laugh at them; Thou wilt have all the nations in derision.
8God hath spoken in his holy place: I will rejoice, and I will divide Sichem; and will mete out the vale of tabernacles.
8And Thou, O Jehovah dost laugh at them, Thou dost mock at all the nations.
9Because ofhis strength I will give heed unto thee; For God is my high tower.
9Galaad is mine, and Manasses is mine: and Ephraim is the strength of my head. Juda is my king:
9O my Strength, unto Thee I take heed, For God <FI>is<Fi> my tower--the God of my kindness.
10My God with his lovingkindness will meet me: God will let me see my desire upon mine enemies.
10Moab is the pot of my hope. Into Edom will I stretch out my shoe: to me the foreigners are made subject.
10God doth go before me, He causeth me to look on mine enemies.
11Slay them not, lest my people forget: Scatter them by thy power, and bring them down, O Lord our shield.
11Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
11Slay them not, lest my people forget, Shake them by Thy strength, And bring them down, O Lord our shield.
12Forthe 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.
12Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go out with our armies?
12The sin of their mouth <FI>is<Fi> a word of their lips, And they are captured in their pride, And from the curse and lying they recount.
13Consume them in wrath, consume them, so that they shall be no more: And let them know that God ruleth in Jacob, Unto the ends of the earth. [Selah
13Give us help from trouble: for vain is the salvation of man.
13Consume in fury, consume and they are not, And they know that God is ruling in Jacob, To the ends of the earth. Selah.
14And at evening let them return, let them howl like a dog, And go round about the city.
14Through God we shall do mightily: and he shall bring to nothing them that afflict us.
14And they turn back at evening, They make a noise like a dog, And they go round about the city.
15They shall wander up and down for food, And tarry all night if they be not satisfied.
15(not in this translation)
15They--they wander for food, If they are not satisfied--then they murmur.
16But I will sing of thy strength; Yea, I will sing aloud of thy lovingkindness in the morning: For thou hast been my high tower, And a refuge in the day of my distress.
16(not in this translation)
16And I--I sing <FI>of<Fi> Thy strength, And I sing at morn <FI>of<Fi> Thy kindness, For thou hast been a tower to me, And a refuge for me in a day of adversity.
