|
|
1 |
Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from
them that rise up against me.
|
|
|
2 |
Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me
from bloody men.
|
|
3 |
For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are
gathered against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O LORD.
|
|
4 |
They run and prepare themselves without my fault: awake
to help me, and behold.
|
|
5 |
Thou therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel,
awake to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors.
Selah.
|
|
6 |
They return 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?
|
|
8 |
But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have
all the heathen in derision.
|
|
9 |
Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: for God
is my defence.
|
|
10 |
The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me
see my desire upon mine enemies.
|
|
11 |
Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by
thy power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield.
|
|
12 |
For 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.
|
|
13 |
Consume 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.
|
|
14 |
And at evening let them return; and let them make a
noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
|
|
15 |
Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if
they be not satisfied.
|
|
16 |
But 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.
|
|
17 |
Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God is my
defence, and the God of my mercy.
