{To the chief Musician. 'Destroy not.' Of David. Michtam; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him.} Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God; secure me on high from them that rise up against me.
Rescue me from these criminals;
save me from these murderers.
save me from these murderers.
Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from men of blood.
They have set an ambush for me.
Fierce enemies are out there waiting, LORD,
though I have not sinned or offended them.
Fierce enemies are out there waiting, LORD,
though I have not sinned or offended them.
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.
I have done nothing wrong,
yet they prepare to attack me.
Wake up! See what is happening and help me!
yet they prepare to attack me.
Wake up! See what is happening and help me!

Yea, do thou, Jehovah, the God of hosts, the God of Israel, arise to visit all the nations: be not gracious to any plotters of iniquity. Selah.
They come out at night,
snarling like vicious dogs
as they prowl the streets.
snarling like vicious dogs
as they prowl the streets.
They return in the evening; they howl like a dog, and go round about the city:
Listen to the filth that comes from their mouths;
their words cut like swords.
“After all, who can hear us?” they sneer.
their words cut like swords.
“After all, who can hear us?” they sneer.
Behold, they belch out with their mouth; swords are in their lips: for who [say they] doth hear?
But LORD, you laugh at them.
You scoff at all the hostile nations.
You scoff at all the hostile nations.
But thou, Jehovah, wilt laugh at them; thou wilt have all the nations in derision.
You are my strength; I wait for you to rescue me,
for you, O God, are my fortress.
for you, O God, are my fortress.
Their strength! ... I will take heed to thee; for God is my high fortress.
In his unfailing love, my God will stand with me.
He will let me look down in triumph on all my enemies.
He will let me look down in triumph on all my enemies.
God, whose loving-kindness will come to meet me, -- God shall let me see [my desire] upon mine enemies.
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.
stagger them with your power, and bring them to their knees,
O Lord our shield.
Slay them not, lest my people forget; by thy power make them wander, and bring them down, O Lord, our shield.
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.
because of the evil that is on their lips,
let them be captured by their pride,
their curses, and their lies.
[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.
Make an end in wrath, make an end, that they may be no more; that they may know that God ruleth in Jacob, unto the ends of the earth. Selah.
My enemies come out at night,
snarling like vicious dogs
as they prowl the streets.
snarling like vicious dogs
as they prowl the streets.
And in the evening they shall return, they shall howl like a dog, and go round about the city.
They shall wander about for meat, and stay all night if they be not satisfied.
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.
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.
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.
