Berean Standard Bible
Deliver me from mine
enemies, O my God :
Set
me on
high
from them
that
rise up
against me.
For
the
choirmaster.
To
the
tune
of
“Do
Not
Destroy.”
A
Miktam
of
David,
when
Saul
sent
men
to
watch
David’s
house
in
order
to
kill
him.
Deliver me from my
enemies, O my God ;
protect
me from those
who
rise against me.
Deliver me from the
workers of iniquity, And save me from the
bloodthirsty
men.
Deliver me from workers of iniquity, and save me from men of
bloodshed
.
For,
lo,
they lie in wait for my
soul;
The
mighty
gather
themselves
together
against me :
Not
for my
transgression ,
nor
for
my
sin, O Jehovah
.
See
how
they lie in wait for me.
Fierce
men
conspire
against me for no
transgression or
sin of
my
own
, O LORD
.
They
run
and
prepare
themselves
without
`my'
fault :
Awake
thou
to help me, and behold
.
For
no
fault of
my
own,
they
move
swiftly
to attack
me.
Arise
to
help me, and take
notice
.
Even
thou,
O Jehovah
God of hosts, the God of Israel, Arise
to visit
all the nations :
Be
not
merciful
to any
wicked transgressors
. Selah
O LORD
God of Hosts, the God of Israel, rouse
Yourself
to punish
all the nations ;
show
no
mercy
to the
wicked traitors
. Selah
They return at
evening, they
howl
like a
dog,
And go
round
about
the city.
They return in
the
evening, snarling
like dogs
and prowling
around
the city.
Behold,
they belch
out
with
their mouth;
Swords
are
in
their lips: For who ,
`say
they',
doth
hear?
See
what
they spew
from
their mouths—
sharp
words
from
their lips: “
For who can
hear us
? ”
But thou
, O Jehovah
, wilt
laugh at them; Thou
wilt
have
all the nations in
derision
.
But You
, O LORD
, laugh at them; You
scoff
at
all the nations.
`Because
of'
his
strength
I will give
heed
unto
thee;
For God is
my high
tower
.
I will keep
watch
for You,
O
my
strength,
because
You,
O
God ,
are
my fortress
.
My God with
his
lovingkindness
will meet me :
God will let me see
`
my desire'
upon
mine
enemies
.
My God of
loving
devotion
will come
to
meet me ;
God will let me stare
down
my foes
.
Slay
them
not, lest
my people forget :
Scatter them by thy
power, and bring them down, O Lord our shield.
Do
not kill
them
, or
my people will
forget .
Scatter them by Your
power, and bring them down, O Lord ,
our shield.
`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
.
By
the sins
of their mouths
and the words of their lips, let them be trapped
in their pride, in
the
curses
and lies
they utter
.
Consume them in wrath ,
consume them ,
so
that
they shall
be
no more :
And
let
them
know
that
God
ruleth
in
Jacob
, Unto
the ends of the earth. Selah
Consume them in wrath ;
consume them till
they are
no more, so
it
may
be
known
to
the ends of the earth that
God
rules
over
Jacob
. Selah
And
at
evening
let
them
return, let
them
howl
like a
dog,
And go
round
about
the city.
They
return in
the
evening
, snarling
like dogs
and prowling
around
the city.
They shall
wander
up
and
down
for food, And tarry
all
night
if they be
not satisfied.
They scavenge
for food, and growl
if they are
not satisfied.
But I will sing of thy
strength ;
Yea,
I
will
sing
aloud
of
thy
lovingkindness
in the morning :
For thou
hast
been
my high
tower
, And
a
refuge in the
day
of my
distress
.
But I will sing of Your
strength and
proclaim
Your
loving
devotion
in the morning .
For You
are
my fortress
, my
refuge in times
of trouble
.
Unto
thee
, O my strength, will
I sing praises :
For
God
is
my
high
tower
, the
God
of
my
mercy.
Psalm
60
For the
Chief
Musician;
`set
to'
Shushan
Eduth.
Michtam
of
David
, to
teach;
and
when
he
strove
with
Aram-naharaim
and
with
Aram-zobah
, and
Joab
returned
, and
smote
of
Edom
in
the
Valley
of Salt
twelve
thousand
.
To
You
, O my strength, I sing praises, for You
, O
God
, are
my
fortress
, my
God
of loving
devotion
.
