|
|
1 |
Deliver me from my enemies, O my God;
Defend me from those who rise up against me.
|
|
|
2 |
Deliver me from the workers of iniquity,
And save me from bloodthirsty men.
|
|
3 |
For look, they lie in wait for my life;
The mighty gather against me,
Not for my transgression nor for my sin, O LORD.
|
|
4 |
They run and prepare themselves through no fault of
mine.
Awake to help me, and behold!
|
|
5 |
You therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel,
Awake to punish all the nations;
Do not be merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah
|
|
6 |
At evening they return,
They growl like a dog,
And go all around the city.
|
|
7 |
Indeed, they belch with their mouth;
Swords are in their lips;
For they say, “Who hears?”
|
|
8 |
But You, O LORD, shall laugh at them;
You shall have all the nations in derision.
|
|
9 |
I will wait for You, O You his Strength;
For God is my defence.
|
|
10 |
My God of mercy shall come to meet me;
God shall let me see my desire on my enemies.
|
|
11 |
Do not slay them, lest my people forget;
Scatter them by Your 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 the cursing and lying which they speak.
|
|
13 |
Consume them in wrath, consume them,
That they may not be;
And let them know that God rules in Jacob
To the ends of the earth. Selah
|
|
14 |
And at evening they return,
They growl like a dog,
And go all around the city.
|
|
15 |
They wander up and down for food,
And howl if they are not satisfied.
|
|
16 |
But I will sing of Your power;
Yes, I will sing aloud of Your mercy in the morning;
For You have been my defence
And refuge in the day of my trouble.
|
|
17 |
To You, O my Strength, I will sing praises;
For God is my defence,
My God of mercy.
