1 Deliver me from mine enemies, O myGod; secure 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.
2 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from men of blood.
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.
3 For behold, they lie in wait for my soul; strong ones are gathered 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.
4 They run and prepare themselves without [my] fault: awake to meet 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.
5 Yea, do thou, Jehovah, theGod of hosts, theGod of Israel, arise to visit all the nations: be not gracious to any plotters of iniquity. 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.
6 They return in the 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.
7 Behold, 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?'
8 But thou, 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.
9 Their strength! ...I will take heed to thee; forGod is my high fortress.
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.
10 God, whose loving-kindness will come to meet me, —God shall 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.
11 Slay them not, lest my people forget; by thy power make them wander, 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.
12 [Because of] the sin of their mouth, the word of their lips, let them even be taken in their pride; and because of 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.
13 Make an end in wrath, make an end, that they may be no more; that they may know thatGod 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.
14 And in the evening they shall return, they shall 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.
15 They shall wander about for meat, and stay 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.
16 But as for me, I will sing of thy strength; yea, I will sing aloud of thy loving-kindness in the morning; for thou hast been to me a high fortress, and a refuge in the day of my trouble.
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.
