aDeliver me from my enemies, O my God; 1 bSet me securely on high away from those who rise up against me.
2Deliver me from athose who do iniquity And save me from bmen of bloodshed.
3For behold, they ahave 1set an ambush for my 2life; 3Fierce men 4 alaunch an attack against me, bNot for my transgression nor for my sin, O LORD,
41 aFor no guilt of mine, they run and set themselves against me. bArouse Yourself to 2help me, and see!
5You, aO LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, Awake to 1 bpunish all the nations; cDo not be gracious to any who are treacherous in iniquity. 2Selah.
6They areturn at evening, they howl like a bdog, And go around the city.
7Behold, they abelch forth with their mouth; bSwords are in their lips, For, they say, " cWho hears?"
8But You, O LORD, alaugh at them; You bscoff at all the nations.
9Because of 1his astrength I will watch for You, For God is my bstronghold.
101My God ain His lovingkindness will meet me; God will let me blook triumphantly upon 2my foes.
11Do not slay them, aor my people will forget; 1 bScatter them by Your power, and bring them down, O Lord, cour shield.
121On account of the asin of their mouth and the words of their lips, Let them even be bcaught in their pride, And on account of ccurses and 2lies which they utter.
131 aDestroy them in wrath, 1destroy them that they may be no more; That men may bknow that God 2rules in Jacob To the ends of the earth. Selah.
14They areturn at evening, they howl like a dog, And go around the city.
15They awander about 1for food And 2growl if they are not satisfied.
16But as for me, I shall asing of Your strength; Yes, I shall bjoyfully sing of Your lovingkindness in the cmorning, For You have been my dstronghold And a erefuge in the day of my distress.
17aO my strength, I will sing praises to You; For God is my bstronghold, the 1God who shows me lovingkindness.
