1Unto the end, for them that shall be changed, for the inscription of a title, to David himself, for doctrine,
1 Deliver me from mine enemies, O myGod; secure me on high from them that rise up against me.
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.
2 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from men of blood.
3O God, thou hast cast us off, and hast destroyed us; thou hast been angry, and hast had mercy on us.
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.
4Thou hast moved the earth, and hast troubled it: heal thou the breaches thereof, for it has been moved.
4 They run and prepare themselves without [my] fault: awake to meet me, and behold.
5Thou hast shewn thy people hard things; thou hast made us drink the wine of sorrow.
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.
6Thou hast given a warning to them that fear thee: that they may flee from before the bow: That thy beloved may be delivered.
6 They return in the evening; they howl like a dog, and go round about the city:
7Save me with thy right hand, and hear me.
7 Behold, they belch out with their mouth; swords are in their lips: for who [say they] doth hear?
8God hath spoken in his holy place: I will rejoice, and I will divide Sichem; and will mete out the vale of tabernacles.
8 But thou, Jehovah, wilt laugh at them; thou wilt have all the nations in derision.
9Galaad is mine, and Manasses is mine: and Ephraim is the strength of my head. Juda is my king:
9 Their strength! ...I will take heed to thee; forGod is my high fortress.
10Moab is the pot of my hope. Into Edom will I stretch out my shoe: to me the foreigners are made subject.
10 God, whose loving-kindness will come to meet me, —God shall let me see [my desire] upon mine enemies.
11Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
11 Slay them not, lest my people forget; by thy power make them wander, and bring them down, O Lord, our shield.
12Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go out with our armies?
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.
13Give us help from trouble: for vain is the salvation of man.
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.
14Through God we shall do mightily: and he shall bring to nothing them that afflict us.
14 And in the evening they shall return, they shall howl like a dog, and go round about the city.
15(not in this translation)
15 They shall wander about for meat, and stay all night if they be not satisfied.
