To the chief Musician, Al-taschith, Michtamof David; when Saulsent, and they watchedthe houseto killhim. Deliverme from mine enemies, O my God: defendme from them that rise up againstme. Deliverme from the workersof iniquity, and saveme from bloodymen. For, lo, they lie in waitfor my soul: the mightyare gatheredagainstme; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O LORD. They runand prepare themselveswithout my fault: awaketo helpme, and behold. Thoutherefore, O LORDGodof hosts, the Godof Israel, awaketo visitallthe heathen: be notmercifulto anywickedtransgressors. Selah. They returnat evening: they make a noiselike a dog, and go round aboutthe city. Behold, they belch outwith their mouth: swords are in their lips: forwho, say they , doth hear? But thou, O LORD, shalt laughat them; thou shalt have allthe heathenin derision. Because of his strengthwill I waituponthee: forGod is my defense. The Godof my mercyshall preventme: Godshall let me see my desire upon mine enemies. Slaythem not, lestmy peopleforget: scatterthem by thy power; and bring them down, O Lordour shield. For the sinof their mouth and the wordsof their lipslet them even be takenin their pride: and for cursingand lying which they speak. Consume them in wrath, consume them , that they may not be : and let them knowthatGodrulethin Jacobunto the endsof the earth. Selah. And at eveninglet them return; and let them make a noiselike a dog, and go round aboutthe city. Let themwander up and downfor meat, and grudgeifthey be notsatisfied. But Iwill singof thy power; yea, I will sing aloudof thy mercyin the morning: forthou hast beenmy defenseand refugein the dayof my trouble. Untothee, O my strength, will I sing: forGod is my defense, and the Godof my mercy.
