1. To the chief Musician H5329 , Al H516 -taschith, Michtam H4387 of David H1732 ; when Saul H7586 sent H7971 , and they watched H8104 H853 the house H1004 to kill H4191 him. Deliver H5337 me from mine enemies H4480 H341 , O my God H430 : defend H7682 me from them that rise up against H4480 H6965 me.
|
|

3. Look, powerful men are waiting for me. They are waiting to kill me, even though I did not sin or commit a crime.
|
3. For H3588 , lo H2009 , they lie in wait H693 for my soul H5315 : the mighty H5794 are gathered H1481 against H5921 me; not H3808 for my transgression H6588 , nor H3808 for my sin H2403 , O LORD H3068 .
|
|
4. I have done nothing wrong, but they are rushing to attack me. Lord, come and see for yourself!

4. They run H7323 and prepare themselves H3559 without H1097 my fault H5771 : awake H5782 to help H7125 me , and behold H7200 .
|
|
5. You are the Lord God All-Powerful, the God of Israel! Get up and punish them. Don't show any mercy to those traitors. Selah

|
|
6. Those evil men are like dogs that come into town in the evening, growling and roaming the streets.
|
6. They return H7725 at evening H6153 : they make a noise H1993 like a dog H3611 , and go round about H5437 the city H5892 .
|
|
7. Listen to their threats and insults. They say such cruel things, and they don't care who hears them.
|
7. Behold H2009 , they belch out H5042 with their mouth H6310 : swords H2719 are in their lips H8193 : for H3588 who H4310 , say they , doth hear H8085 ?
|
|
8. Lord, laugh at them. Make fun of them all.
|
8. But thou H859 , O LORD H3068 , shalt laugh H7832 at them ; thou shalt have all H3605 the heathen H1471 in derision H3932 .
|
|
9. I will sing my songs of praise to you. God, you are my place of safety, high in the mountains.
|
9. Because of his strength H5797 will I wait H8104 upon H413 thee: for H3588 God H430 is my defense H4869 .
|
|
10. God loves me, and he will help me win. He will help me defeat my enemies.
|
10. The God H430 of my mercy H2617 shall prevent H6923 me: God H430 shall let me see H7200 my desire upon mine enemies H8324 .
|
|
11. Don't just kill them, or my people might forget. My Lord and Protector, scatter and defeat them with your strength.
|
11. Slay H2026 them not H408 , lest H6435 my people H5971 forget H7911 : scatter H5128 them by thy power H2428 ; and bring them down H3381 , O Lord H136 our shield H4043 .
|
|
12. Those evil people curse and tell lies. Punish them for what they said. Let their pride trap them.
|
12. 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 H4480 H423 and lying H4480 H3585 which they speak H5608 .
|
|
13. Destroy them in your anger. Destroy them completely! Then people all over the world will know that God rules over Jacob's people. Selah
|
13. Consume H3615 them in wrath H2534 , consume H3615 them , that they may not H369 be : and let them know H3045 that H3588 God H430 ruleth H4910 in Jacob H3290 unto the ends H657 of the earth H776 . Selah H5542 .
|
|
14. Those evil men are like dogs that come into town in the evening, growling and roaming the streets.
|
14. And at evening H6153 let them return H7725 ; and let them make a noise H1993 like a dog H3611 , and go round about H5437 the city H5892 .
|
|
15. They roam around looking for food, but even if they eat their fill, they still growl and complain.
|
15. Let them H1992 wander up and down H5128 for meat H398 , and grudge H3885 if H518 they be not H3808 satisfied H7646 .
|
|
16. But I will sing about your strength. I will rejoice in your love every morning. You have been my place of safety, the place I can run to when troubles come.
|
16. But I H589 will sing H7891 of thy power H5797 ; yea , I will sing aloud H7442 of thy mercy H2617 in the morning H1242 : for H3588 thou hast been H1961 my defense H4869 and refuge H4498 in the day H3117 of my trouble H6862 .
|
|
17. I will sing praises to you, my source of strength. You, God, are my place of safety. You are the God who loves me!
|
17. Unto H413 thee , O my strength H5797 , will I sing H2167 : for H3588 God H430 is my defense H4869 , and the God H430 of my mercy H2617 .
