1 To the chief Musician 5329, Altaschith 516, Michtam 4387 of David 1732; when Saul 7586 sent 7971, and they watched 8104 the house 1004 to kill him 4191. Deliver 5337 me from mine enemies 341, O my God 430: defend 7682 me from them that rise up 6965 against me.
2 Deliver 5337 me from the workers 6466 of iniquity 205, and save 3467 me from bloody 1818 men 582.
3 For, lo, they lie in wait 693 for my soul 5315: the mighty 5794 are gathered 1481 against me; not for my transgression 6588, nor for my sin 2403, O LORD 3068.
4 They run 7323 and prepare 3559 themselves without my fault 5771: awake 5782 to help 7125 me, and behold 7200.
5 Thou therefore, O LORD 3068 God 430 of hosts 6635, the God 430 of Israel 3478, awake 6974 to visit 6485 all the heathen 1471: be not merciful 2603 to any wicked 205 transgressors 898. Selah 5542.
6 They return 7725 at evening 6153: they make a noise 1993 like a dog 3611, and go round about 5437 the city 5892.
7 Behold, they belch out 5042 with their mouth 6310: swords 2719 are in their lips 8193: for who, say they, doth hear 8085?
8 But thou, O LORD 3068, shalt laugh 7832 at them; thou shalt have all the heathen 1471 in derision 3932.
9 Because of his strength 5797 will I wait 8104 upon thee: for God 430 is my defence 4869.
10 The God 430 of my mercy 2617 shall prevent 6923 me: God 430 shall let me see 7200 my desire upon mine enemies 8324.
11 Slay 2026 them not, lest my people 5971 forget 7911: scatter 5128 them by thy power 2428; and bring them down 3381, O Lord 136 our shield 4043.
12 For the sin 2403 of their mouth 6310 and the words 1697 of their lips 8193 let them even be taken 3920 in their pride 1347: and for cursing 423 and lying 3585 which they speak 5608.
13 Consume 3615 them in wrath 2534, consume 3615 them, that they may not be: and let them know 3045 that God 430 ruleth 4910 in Jacob 3290 unto the ends 657 of the earth 776. Selah 5542.
14 And at evening 6153 let them return 7725; and let them make a noise 1993 like a dog 3611, and go round about 5437 the city 5892.
15 Let them wander up and down 5128 5128 for meat 398, and grudge 3885 if they be not satisfied 7646.
16 But I will sing 7891 of thy power 5797; yea, I will sing aloud 7442 of thy mercy 2617 in the morning 1242: for thou hast been my defence 4869 and refuge 4498 in the day 3117 of my trouble 6862.
17 Unto thee, O my strength 5797, will I sing 2167: for God 430 is my defence 4869, and the God 430 of my mercy 2617.
