Deliver Me from My Enemies

To the choirmaster: according to xDo Not Destroy. A yMiktam1 of David, zwhen Saul sent men to watch his house in order to kill him.

1aDeliver me from my enemies, O my God;

bprotect me from those who crise up against me;

2deliver me from dthose who work evil,

and save me from ebloodthirsty men.

3For behold, they flie in wait for my life;

fierce men gstir up strife against me.

hFor no transgression or sin of mine, O Lord,

4for no fault of mine, they run and make ready.

iAwake, come to meet me, and see!

5You, jLord God of hosts, are God of Israel.

Rouse yourself to punish all the nations;

spare none of those who treacherously plot evil. Selah

6Each evening they kcome back,

howling like dogs

and prowling about the city.

7There they are, lbellowing with their mouths

with mswords in their lips—

for n“Who,” they think,2 “will hear us?”

8But you, O Lord, olaugh at them;

you hold all the nations in derision.

9O my Strength, I will watch for you,

for you, O God, are pmy fortress.

10qMy God in his steadfast love3 rwill meet me;

God will let me slook in triumph on my enemies.

11Kill them not, lest my people forget;

make them totter4 by your power and tbring them down,

O Lord, our ushield!

12For vthe sin of their mouths, the words of their lips,

let them be trapped in their pride.

For the cursing and lies that they utter,

13wconsume them in wrath;

consume them till they are no more,

that they may xknow that God rules over Jacob

to ythe ends of the earth. Selah

14zEach evening they come back,

howling like dogs

and prowling about the city.

15They awander about for food

and growl if they do not get their fill.

16But I will sing of your strength;

I will sing aloud of your steadfast love in the morning.

For you have been to me ba fortress

and ca refuge in dthe day of my distress.

17O my Strength, I will sing praises to you,

for you, O God, bare my fortress,

ethe God who shows me steadfast love.
