1 To the choirmaster al-tashcheth of David a miktam when sent Saul and people watched the house to kill him. Deliver me from enemies my - O God my from [those who] rise up against me may you set on high me.
To the chief Musician. 'Destroy not.' Of David. Michtam; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him. Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God; secure me on high from them that rise up against me.
2 Deliver me from [those who] do wickedness and from men of blood save me.
Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from men of blood.
3 For here! they lie in wait for life my they stir up trouble on me fierce [people] not transgression my and not sin my O Yahweh.
For behold, they lie in wait for my soul; strong ones are gathered against me: not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O Jehovah.
4 Not iniquity they run! and they may be established awake! to meet me and see.
They run and prepare themselves without [my] fault: awake to meet me, and behold.
5 And you O Yahweh God of - hosts [the] God of Israel awake! to punish all the nations may not you show favor to all [those who] act treacherously of wickedness (Selah)
Yea, do thou, Jehovah, the God of hosts, the God of Israel, arise to visit all the nations: be not gracious to any plotters of iniquity. (Selah)
6 They return to evening they growl like dog so they may go around [the] city.
They return in the evening; they howl like a dog, and go round about the city:
7 Here! - they pour forth! with mouth their swords [are] on lips their for who? [is] hearing.
Behold, they belch out with their mouth; swords are in their lips: for who [say they] doth hear?
8 And you O Yahweh you laugh to them you mock all [the] nations.
But thou, Jehovah, wilt laugh at them; thou wilt have all the nations in derision.
9 Strength his to you I will watch for God [is] refuge my.
Their strength! ...I will take heed to thee; for God is my high fortress.
10 [the] God of (Covenant loyalty my *Q(K)*) he will meet me God he will let look me on enemies my.
God, whose loving-kindness will come to meet me, — God shall let me see [my desire] upon mine enemies.
11 May not you kill them - lest they should forget people my make wander about them by strength your and bring down them O shield our O Lord.
Slay them not, lest my people forget; by thy power make them wander, and bring them down, O Lord, our shield.
12 [the] sin of Mouth their [the] word of lips their and let them be caught in pride their and from a curse and from lying [which] they speak.
[Because of] the sin of their mouth, the word of their lips, let them even be taken in their pride; and because of cursing and lying which they speak.
13 Make an end in anger make an end and there not [will be] them so they may know that God [is] ruling over Jacob to [the] ends of the earth (Selah)
Make an end in wrath, make an end, that they may be no more; that they may know that God ruleth in Jacob, unto the ends of the earth. (Selah)
14 So they may return to evening they growl like dog so they may go around [the] city.
And in the evening they shall return, they shall howl like a dog, and go round about the city.
15 They (they make wander about! *Q(K)*) to eat if not they are satisfied and they passed [the] night.
They shall wander about for meat, and stay all night if they be not satisfied.
16 And I - I will sing strength your so I may sing for joy to the morning covenant loyalty your for you have been a refuge of me and a place of escape on [the] day [when] it is distress to me.
But as for me, I will sing of thy strength; yea, I will sing aloud of thy loving-kindness in the morning; for thou hast been to me a high fortress, and a refuge in the day of my trouble.
17 O strength my to you I will sing praises for God [is] refuge my [the] God of covenant loyalty my.
Unto thee, my strength, will I sing psalms; for God is my high fortress, the God of my mercy.
