For the Chief Musician; [set to] Al-tashheth. [A Psalm] of David. Michtam; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him. Deliver{H5337} me from mine enemies,{H341} O my God:{H430} Set me on high{H7682} from them that rise up{H6965} against me.

Deliver{H5337} me from the workers{H6466} of iniquity,{H205} And save{H3467} me from the bloodthirsty{H1818} men.{H582}

For, lo, they lie in wait{H693} for my soul;{H5315} The mighty{H5794} gather{H1481} themselves together against me: Not for my transgression,{H6588} nor for my sin,{H2403} O Jehovah.{H3068}

They run{H7323} and prepare{H3559} themselves without [my] fault:{H5771} Awake{H5782} thou to help{H7125} me, and behold.{H7200}

Even thou, O Jehovah{H3068} God{H430} of hosts,{H6635} the God{H430} of Israel,{H3478} Arise{H6974} to visit{H6485} all the nations:{H1471} Be not merciful{H2603} to any wicked{H205} transgressors.{H898} {H5542}

They return{H7725} at evening,{H6153} they howl{H1993} like a dog,{H3611} And go round about{H5437} the city.{H5892}

Behold, they belch out{H5042} with their mouth;{H6310} Swords{H2719} are in their lips:{H8193} For who, [say they], doth hear?{H8085}

But thou, O Jehovah,{H3068} wilt laugh{H7832} at them; Thou wilt have all the nations{H1471} in derision.{H3932}

[Because of] his strength{H5797} I will give heed{H8104} unto thee; For God{H430} is my high tower.{H4869}

My God{H430} with his lovingkindness{H2617} will meet{H6923} me: God{H430} will let me see{H7200} [my desire] upon mine enemies.{H8324}

Slay{H2026} them not, lest my people{H5971} forget:{H7911} Scatter{H5128} them by thy power,{H2428} and bring them down,{H3381} O Lord{H136} our shield.{H4043}

[ For] the sin{H2403} of their mouth,{H6310} [and] the words{H1697} of their lips,{H8193} Let them even be taken{H3920} in their pride,{H1347} And for cursing{H423} and lying{H3585} which they speak.{H5608}

Consume{H3615} them in wrath,{H2534} consume{H3615} them, so that they shall be no more: And let them know{H3045} that God{H430} ruleth{H4910} in Jacob,{H3290} Unto the ends{H657} of the earth.{H776} {H5542}

And at evening{H6153} let them return,{H7725} let them howl{H1993} like a dog,{H3611} And go round about{H5437} the city.{H5892}

They shall wander up and down{H5128} for food,{H398} And tarry{H3885} all night if they be not satisfied.{H7646}

But I will sing{H7891} of thy strength;{H5797} Yea, I will sing aloud{H7442} of thy lovingkindness{H2617} in the morning:{H1242} For thou hast been my high tower,{H4869} And a refuge{H4498} in the day{H3117} of my distress.{H6862}

Unto thee, O my strength,{H5797} will I sing{H2167} praises: For God{H430} is my high tower,{H4869} the God{H430} of my mercy.{H2617}
