King James Version
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 mine
enemies, O my God :
defend
me from them
that
rise up
against me.
Deliver me from workers of iniquity, and save me from men of
bloodshed
.
Deliver me from the
workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody
men.
See
how
they lie in wait for me.
Fierce
men
conspire
against me for no
transgression or
sin
of
my own
, O LORD.
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.
For
no
fault
of
my
own,
they move
swiftly
to
attack
me.
Arise
to help me, and take
notice
.
They run
and
prepare
themselves
without
my
fault:
awake
to help me, and behold
.
O LORD God of Hosts, the God of Israel, rouse
Yourself
to punish
all the nations;
show
no
mercy
to the
wicked traitors
. Selah
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 .
They return in
the
evening ,
snarling
like dogs
and prowling
around
the city.
They return at
evening :
they
make
a
noise
like a
dog,
and go
round
about
the city.
See
what
they spew
from
their mouths—
sharp
words
from
their lips: “
For who can
hear us
? ”
Behold,
they belch
out
with
their mouth:
swords
are
in
their lips: for who ,
say
they,
doth
hear?
But You
, O LORD, laugh at them; You
scoff
at
all the nations
.
But thou
, O LORD, shalt
laugh at them; thou
shalt
have
all the heathen
in
derision
.
I
will keep
watch
for You,
O
my
strength,
because
You,
O
God ,
are
my fortress
.
Because
of
his
strength
will I
wait
upon
thee:
for God is
my defence
.
My
God of loving
devotion
will
come
to
meet
me ;
God will
let me stare
down
my foes
.
The
God of my
mercy
shall
prevent
me :
God shall
let me see
my desire
upon
mine
enemies
.
Do
not
kill
them, or
my people will
forget .
Scatter them by Your
power ,
and bring them down, O Lord ,
our shield.
Slay
them not
, lest
my people forget :
scatter them by thy
power ;
and bring them down, O Lord our shield.
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
.
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
.
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
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 .
They
return
in
the
evening ,
snarling
like dogs
and prowling
around
the city.
And
at
evening let
them
return;
and
let
them
make
a
noise
like a
dog,
and go
round
about
the city.
They
scavenge
for food
, and growl
if they are
not satisfied.
Let
them
wander
up
and
down
for meat
, and grudge
if they be
not satisfied.
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.
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.
To
You
, O my strength, I sing praises,
for You,
O
God ,
are
my fortress
, my
God of loving
devotion
.
Unto
thee
, O my strength, will
I sing :
for God is
my defence
, and
the
God of my
mercy
.
