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.
1Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: Set me on high from them that rise up against me.
1 Deliver me from mine enemies, O myGod; secure me on high from them that rise up against me.
2Deliver me from workers of iniquity, And from men of blood save me.
2Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, And save me from the bloodthirsty men.
2 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from men of blood.
3For, lo, they laid wait for my soul, Assembled against me are strong ones, Not my transgression nor my sin, O Jehovah.
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.
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.
4Without punishment they run and prepare themselves, Stir up to meet me, and see.
4They run and prepare themselves without my fault: Awake thou to help me, and behold.
4 They run and prepare themselves without [my] fault: awake to meet me, and behold.
5And Thou, Jehovah, God of Hosts, God of Israel, Awake to inspect all the nations. Favour not any treacherous dealers of iniquity. Selah.
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
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.
6They turn back at evening, They make a noise like a dog, And go round about the city.
6They return at evening, they howl like a dog, And go round about the city.
6 They return in the evening; they howl like a dog, and go round about the city:
7Lo, they belch out with their mouths, Swords <FI>are<Fi> in their lips, for `Who heareth?'
7Behold, they belch out with their mouth; Swords are in their lips: For who, say they, doth hear?
7 Behold, they belch out with their mouth; swords are in their lips: for who [say they] doth hear?
8And Thou, O Jehovah dost laugh at them, Thou dost mock at all the nations.
8But thou, O Jehovah, wilt laugh at them; Thou wilt have all the nations in derision.
8 But thou, Jehovah, wilt laugh at them; thou wilt have all the nations in derision.
9O my Strength, unto Thee I take heed, For God <FI>is<Fi> my tower--the God of my kindness.
9Because ofhis strength I will give heed unto thee; For God is my high tower.
9 Their strength! ...I will take heed to thee; forGod is my high fortress.
10God doth go before me, He causeth me to look on mine enemies.
10My God with his lovingkindness will meet me: God will let me see my desire upon mine enemies.
10 God, whose loving-kindness will come to meet me, —God shall let me see [my desire] upon mine enemies.
11Slay them not, lest my people forget, Shake them by Thy strength, And bring them down, O Lord our shield.
11Slay them not, lest my people forget: Scatter them by thy power, and bring them down, O Lord our shield.
11 Slay them not, lest my people forget; by thy power make them wander, and bring them down, O Lord, our shield.
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.
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.
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.
13Consume in fury, consume and they are not, And they know that God is ruling in Jacob, To the ends of the earth. Selah.
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
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.
14And they turn back at evening, They make a noise like a dog, And they go round about the city.
14And at evening let them return, let them howl like a dog, And go round about the city.
14 And in the evening they shall return, they shall howl like a dog, and go round about the city.
15They--they wander for food, If they are not satisfied--then they murmur.
15They shall wander up and down for food, And tarry all night if they be not satisfied.
15 They shall wander about for meat, and stay all night if they be not satisfied.
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.
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 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.
