For the Chief Musician; set to Al-tashheth. A Psalm of David. Michtam;
when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him. |
1
|
Deliver me from mine enemies, O my YAHUVEH: Set me on high from them that
rise up against me. |
2
|
Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, And save me from the
bloodthirsty men. |
3
|
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 YAHUVEH. |
4
|
They run and prepare themselves without my fault: Awake thou to
help me, and behold. |
5
|
Even thou, O YAHUVEH YAHUVEH of hosts, the YAHUVEH of Israel, Arise to
visit all the nations: Be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah |
6
|
They return at evening, they howl like a dog, And go round about the
city. |
7
|
Behold, they belch out with their mouth; Swords are in their lips: For
who, say they, doth hear? |
8
|
But thou, O YAHUVEH, wilt laugh at them; Thou wilt have all the nations
in derision. |
9
|
Because of his strength I will give heed unto thee; For YAHUVEH is
my high tower. |
10
|
My YAHUVEH with his lovingkindness will meet me: YAHUVEH will 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 Master 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, so that they shall be no more: And
let them know that YAHUVEH ruleth in Jacob, Unto the ends of the earth. Selah |
14
|
And at evening let them return, let them howl like a dog, And go round
about the city. |
15
|
They shall wander up and down for food, And tarry all night if they be
not satisfied. |
16
|
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. |
17
|
Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing praises: For YAHUVEH is my high
tower, the YAHUVEH of my mercy. |
