1Deliver me from my enemies, O my God;[#Ps. 143:9; Ps. 18:48]
protect me from those who rise up against me;
2deliver me from those who work evil,[#Ps. 94:4]
and save me from bloodthirsty men.
3For behold, they lie in wait for my life;[#Ps. 10:9]
fierce men stir up strife against me.
For no transgression or sin of mine, O Lord ,
4for no fault of mine, they run and make ready.
Awake, come to meet me, and see!
5You, Lord God of hosts, are God of Israel.[#Ps. 80:4; 84:8]
Rouse yourself to punish all the nations;
spare none of those who treacherously plot evil. Selah
6Each evening they come back,[#Ps. 22:16]
howling like dogs
and prowling about the city.
7There they are, bellowing with their mouths[#Prov. 15:2, 28; Ps. 94:4]
with swords in their lips—
for “Who,” they think, “will hear us?”
8But you, O Lord , laugh at them;[#Ps. 2:4]
you hold all the nations in derision.
9O my Strength, I will watch for you,
for you, O God, are my fortress.
10My God in his steadfast love will meet me;[#17; #59:10 Or The God who shows me steadfast love; #Ps. 21:3]
God will let me look in triumph on my enemies.
11Kill them not, lest my people forget;
make them totter by your power and bring them down,
O Lord, our shield!
12For the sin of their mouths, the words of their lips,[#Prov. 12:13]
let them be trapped in their pride.
For the cursing and lies that they utter,
13consume them in wrath;[#Ps. 7:9]
consume them till they are no more,
that they may know that God rules over Jacob
to the ends of the earth. Selah
14Each evening they come back,[#Ps. 22:16]
howling like dogs
and prowling about the city.
15They wander about for food[#Ps. 109:10; Job 15:23]
and growl if they do not get their fill.
16But I will sing of your strength;
I will sing aloud of your steadfast love in the morning.
For you have been to me a fortress
and a refuge in the day of my distress.
17O my Strength, I will sing praises to you,
for you, O God, are my fortress,
the God who shows me steadfast love.
