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.
2 Deliver me from [those who] do wickedness and from men of blood save me.
Save me from those who do wrong, save me from the bloodthirsty.
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 see! They lay ambush for me, strong men are banded against me not for sin or transgression of mine, for no guilt of mine, O Lord,
4 Not iniquity they run! and they may be established awake! to meet me and see.
they run and make ready. Awake! Come forth to meet me, and see!
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)
You, O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, awake! And punish the proud, every one; spare none of the traitors vile. (Selah)
6 They return to evening they growl like dog so they may go around [the] city.
At evening they come, and, howling like dogs, make their round in the city.
7 Here! - they pour forth! with mouth their swords [are] on lips their for who? [is] hearing.
Look at their venomous mouths, tongues like swords, they think no one hears them.
8 And you O Yahweh you laugh to them you mock all [the] nations.
But you, Lord, laugh at them, you mock all the insolent.
9 Strength his to you I will watch for God [is] refuge my.
My strength, I will sing to you, for God is my sure retreat.
10 [the] God of (Covenant loyalty my *Q(K)*) he will meet me God he will let look me on enemies my.
My God with his love will meet me, and feast my eyes on my foes.
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, let your hosts keep them roaming and wandering.
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.
In their sinful speech snare them, O Lord; and may they be trapped in their pride, for the curses and lies that they utter.
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)

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.
17 O strength my to you I will sing praises for God [is] refuge my [the] God of covenant loyalty my.
