  • For the choir director: A psalma of David, regarding the time Saul sent soldiers to watch David’s house in order to kill him. To be sung to the tune “Do Not Destroy!”

    Protect me from those who have come to destroy me.
  • Deliver me from evildoers
    and save me from those who are after my blood.
  • Rescue me from these criminals;
    save me from these murderers.
  • See how they lie in wait for me!
    Fierce men conspire against me
    for no offense or sin of mine, Lord.
  • They have set an ambush for me.
    Fierce enemies are out there waiting, LORD,
    though I have not sinned or offended them.
  • I have done no wrong, yet they are ready to attack me.
    Arise to help me; look on my plight!
  • I have done nothing wrong,
    yet they prepare to attack me.
    Wake up! See what is happening and help me!
  • You, Lord God Almighty,
    you who are the God of Israel,
    rouse yourself to punish all the nations;

    wake up and punish those hostile nations.
    Show no mercy to wicked traitors.
    Interlude
  • They return at evening,
    snarling like dogs,
    and prowl about the city.
  • They come out at night,
    snarling like vicious dogs
    as they prowl the streets.
  • See what they spew from their mouths —
    the words from their lips are sharp as swords,
    and they think, “Who can hear us?”
  • Listen to the filth that comes from their mouths;
    their words cut like swords.
    “After all, who can hear us?” they sneer.
  • But you laugh at them, Lord;
    you scoff at all those nations.
  • But LORD, you laugh at them.
    You scoff at all the hostile nations.
  • You are my strength, I watch for you;
    you, God, are my fortress,
  • You are my strength; I wait for you to rescue me,
    for you, O God, are my fortress.
  • my God on whom I can rely.
    God will go before me
    and will let me gloat over those who slander me.
  • In his unfailing love, my God will stand with me.
    He will let me look down in triumph on all my enemies.
  • But do not kill them, Lord our shield,d
    or my people will forget.
    In your might uproot them
    and bring them down.
  • Don’t kill them, for my people soon forget such lessons;
    stagger them with your power, and bring them to their knees,
    O Lord our shield.
  • For the sins of their mouths,
    for the words of their lips,
    let them be caught in their pride.
    For the curses and lies they utter,
  • Because of the sinful things they say,
    because of the evil that is on their lips,
    let them be captured by their pride,
    their curses, and their lies.
  • consume them in your wrath,
    consume them till they are no more.
    Then it will be known to the ends of the earth
    that God rules over Jacob.
  • Destroy them in your anger!
    Wipe them out completely!
    Then the whole world will know
    that God reigns in Israel.b

    and prowl about the city.
  • My enemies come out at night,
    snarling like vicious dogs
    as they prowl the streets.
  • They wander about for food
    and howl if not satisfied.
  • They scavenge for food
    but go to sleep unsatisfied.c
  • But I will sing of your strength,
    in the morning I will sing of your love;
    for you are my fortress,
    my refuge in times of trouble.
  • But as for me, I will sing about your power.
    Each morning I will sing with joy about your unfailing love.
    For you have been my refuge,
    a place of safety when I am in distress.
  • You are my strength, I sing praise to you;
    you, God, are my fortress,
    my God on whom I can rely.
  • O my Strength, to you I sing praises,
    for you, O God, are my refuge,
    the God who shows me unfailing love.
