1 - Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: Set me on high from them that rise up against me.

2 - Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, And save me from the bloodthirsty men.

3 - For, 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.

4 - They run and prepare themselves without my fault: Awake thou to help me, and behold.

5 - Even thou, O Jehovah God of hosts, the God of Israel, Arise to visit all the nations: Be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. [Selah

6 - They return at evening, they howl 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 Jehovah, wilt laugh at them; Thou wilt have all the nations in derision.

9 - Because ofhis strength I will give heed unto thee; For God is my high tower.

10 - My God with his lovingkindness will meet me: God will 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 - Forthe 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, so that they shall be no more: And let them know that God ruleth in Jacob, Unto the ends of the earth. [Selah

14 - And at evening let them return, let them howl like a dog, And go round about the city.

15 - They shall wander up and down for food, And tarry all night if they be not satisfied.

16 - But 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.

17 - Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing praises: For God is my high tower, the God of my mercy.
