- 1. ¶ DELIVER me from mine enemies, O God; defend me from them that rise up against me.
- 2. Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men.
- 3. For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul; evil have they multiplied against me; not because I have transgressed or because I have sinned, O LORD.
- 4. They run and prepare themselves against me without considering whether I have been at fault;
- 5. Awake to help me, and behold, O thou LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the nations, and spare not any wicked transgressors.
- 6. They return at evening; they make a noise like dogs, and go round about the city.
- 7. Behold, they belch out with their mouths; swords are in their lips; for who, say they, does care?
- 8. ¶ But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the nations in derision.
- 9. To thee shall I give praise, O God, for thou art my defense.
- 10. O God, thy lovingkindness has preceded me; God has let me live to see my enemies avenged.
- 11. Spare them for a living example, lest my people forget; but scatter them by thy power, and bring them down, O LORD my hope.
- 12. For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips. let them even be taken in their pride; for it is cursing and lying that they speak.
- 13. Consume them in thy wrath, consume them, that they be no more, that they may know that God rules over Jacob and over the ends of the earth.
- 14. And at evening let them return; and let them make a noise like dogs, and go round about the city.
- 15. Let them be hungry and not be filled, neither let them find a lodging place.
- 16. But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning; for thou hast been my defense and refuge in the day of my trouble.
- 17. Unto thee, O God, will I sing; for thou art God of my refuge and the God of my mercy.
