For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A poem by David, when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him.

[1] Deliver me from my enemies, my God.
Set me on high from those who rise up against me.
[2] Deliver me from the workers of iniquity.
Save me from the bloodthirsty men.
[3] For, behold, they lie in wait for my soul.
The mighty gather themselves together against me,
not for my disobedience, nor for my sin, Yahweh.
[4] I have done no wrong, yet they are ready to attack me.
Rise up, behold, and help me!
[5] You, Yahweh God of Armies, the God of Israel,
rouse yourself to punish the nations.
Show no mercy to the wicked traitors. Selah.
[6] They return at evening, howling like dogs,
and prowl around the city.
[7] Behold, they spew with their mouth.
Swords are in their lips,
“For”, they say, “who hears us?”
[8] But you, Yahweh, laugh at them.
You scoff at all the nations.
[9] Oh, my Strength, I watch for you,
for God is my high tower.
[10] My God will go before me with his loving kindness.
God will let me look at my enemies in triumph.
[11] Don’t kill them, or my people may forget.
Scatter them by your power, and bring them down, Lord our shield.
[12] For the sin of their mouth, and the words of their lips,
let them be caught in their pride,
for the curses and lies which they utter.
[13] Consume them in wrath.
Consume them, and they will be no more.
Let them know that God rules in Jacob,
to the ends of the earth. Selah.
[14] At evening let them return.
Let them howl like a dog, and go around the city.
[15] They shall wander up and down for food,
and wait all night if they aren’t satisfied. [16] But I will sing of your strength.
Yes, I will sing aloud of your loving kindness in the morning.
For you have been my high tower,
a refuge in the day of my distress.
[17] To you, my strength, I will sing praises.
For God is my high tower, the God of my mercy.
King James Version

To the chief Musician, H5329 Al-taschith, H516 Michtam H4387 of David; H1732 when Saul H7586 sent, H7971 and they watched H8104 the house H1004 to kill him. H4191

[1] Deliver H5337 me from mine enemies, H341 O my God: H430
Defend H7682 me§ from them that rise up H6965 against me.
[2] Deliver H5337 me from the workers H6466 of iniquity, H205
And save H3467 me from bloody H1818 men. H582
[3] For, lo, they lie in wait H693 for H3588 my soul: H5315
The mighty H5794 are gathered H1481 against me; Not for my transgression, H6588 nor for my sin, H2403 O Lord. H3068
[4] They run H7323 and prepare H3559 themselves without my fault. H5771
Awake H5782 to help H7125 me,§ and behold. H7200
[5] Thou therefore, O Lord H3068 God H430 of hosts, H6635 the God H430 of Israel, H3478
Awake H6974 to visit H6485 all H3605 the heathen: H1471 Be not merciful H2603 to any wicked H205 transgressors. H898 Selah. H5542
[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] Behold, they belch out H5042 with their mouth: H6310 Swords H2719 are in their lips: H8193
For who, say they, doth hear? H8085
[8] But thou, O Lord, H3068 shalt laugh H7832 at them;
Thou shalt have all the heathen H1471 in derision. H3932
[9] Because of his strength H5797 will I wait H8104 upon thee:
For God H430 is my defence. H4869§
[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] 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
[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 H423 and lying H3585 which they speak. H5608
[13] Consume H3615 them in wrath, H2534 consume H3615 them, that they may not be:
And let them know H3045 that God H430 ruleth H4910 in Jacob H3290 unto the ends H657 of the earth. H776 Selah. H5542
[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] Let them wander up and down H5128 H5128 for meat, H398§
And grudge H3885 if they be not satisfied. H7646§
[16] But I 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 my defence H4869 and refuge H4498 in the day H3117 of my trouble. H6862
[17] Unto H413 thee, O my strength, H5797 will I sing: H2167
For H3588 God H430 is my defence, H4869 and the God H430 of my mercy. H2617
