aDeliver me from my enemies
, O my God
; 1 bSet
me securely on high
away from those who rise
up against me.
Deliver me from athose who do
iniquity
And save
me from bmen
of bloodshed
.
For 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
,
1 aFor no guilt
of mine, they run
and set
themselves against me. bArouse
Yourself to 2help
me, and see
!
You, 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
.
They areturn at evening
, they howl
like a bdog
, And go
around
the city
.
Behold, they abelch
forth
with their mouth
; bSwords
are in their lips
, For, they say, " cWho
hears
?"
But You, O LORD, alaugh
at them; You bscoff
at all
the nations
.
Because of 1his astrength I will watch
for You, For God
is my bstronghold
.
1My God ain His lovingkindness
will meet
me; God
will let me blook
triumphantly upon 2my foes
.
Do not slay them, aor
my people
will forget
; 1 bScatter
them by Your power
, and bring
them down
, O Lord
, cour shield
.
1On 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
.
1 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
.
They areturn at evening
, they howl
like a dog
, And go
around
the city
.
They awander about 1for food
And 2growl
if
they are not satisfied
.
But 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
.
aO my strength, I will sing
praises
to You; For God
is my bstronghold
, the 1God
who shows me lovingkindness
.
