For the leader. Al tashheth. Of David. A michtam, when Saul sent men to watch his house in order to kill him. Save me, O God, from my enemies; secure me from my assailants.

Save me from those who do wrong, save me from the bloodthirsty.

You, O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, awake! And punish the proud, every one; spare none of the traitors vile. (Selah)

Look at their venomous mouths, tongues like swords, they think no one hears them.

But you, Lord, laugh at them, you mock all the insolent.

Slay them not, lest my people forget, let your hosts keep them roaming and wandering.

In their sinful speech snare them, O Lord; and may they be trapped in their pride, for the curses and lies that they utter.

But I will sing of your might; I will ring out your love in the morning. For to me you have been a sure refuge, a retreat in the day of my trouble.

My strength, I will sing praise to you, for God is my sure retreat, my faithful God.
