To the chief Musician,
Altaschith, Michtam of David; when Saul sent, and
they watched the house to kill him.
Deliver me
from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them
that rise up against me.
02 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and
save me from bloody men.
03 For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the
mighty are gathered against me; not for my
transgression, nor for my sin, O Lord.
04 They run and prepare themselves without my
fault: awake to help me, and behold.
05 Thou therefore, O Lord God of hosts, the God
of Israel, awake to visit all the heathen: be not
merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah.
06 They return at evening: they make a noise like
a dog, and go round about the city.
07 Behold, they belch out with their mouth:
swords are in their lips: for who, say they, doth
hear?
08 But thou, O Lord, shalt laugh at them; thou
shalt have all the heathen in derision.
09 Because of his strength will I wait upon thee:
for God is my defence.

10 The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God
shall 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 For the 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, that they
may not be: and let them know that God ruleth in
Jacob unto the ends of the earth. Selah.
14 And at evening let them return; and let them
make a noise like a dog, and go round about the
city.
15 Let them wander up and down for meat, and
grudge if they be not satisfied.
16 But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing
aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast
been my defence and refuge in the day of my
trouble.
17 Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God
is my defence, and the God of my mercy.
