1Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me.
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 bloody 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 are gathered against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O Lord.
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 to help me, and behold.
4Without punishment they run and prepare themselves, Stir up to meet me, and see.
5Thou therefore, O Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah.
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 make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
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?
7Lo, they belch out with their mouths, Swords <FI>are<Fi> in their lips, for `Who heareth?'
8But thou, O Lord, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision.
8And Thou, O Jehovah dost laugh at them, Thou dost mock at all the nations.
9Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: for God is my defence.
9O my Strength, unto Thee I take heed, For God <FI>is<Fi> my tower--the God of my kindness.
10The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies.
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.
11Slay them not, lest my people forget, Shake them by Thy strength, And bring them down, O Lord our shield.
12For the 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.
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, that they may not be: and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. Selah.
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; and let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
14And they turn back at evening, They make a noise like a dog, And they go round about the city.
15Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be not satisfied.
15They--they wander for food, If they are not satisfied--then they murmur.
16But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble.
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.
