1
Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; defend me from those that rise up against me.
2
Deliver me from the workers of iniquity and save me from bloodthirsty men.
3
For, behold, they lie in wait for my soul; the strong are gathered against me; I
am not in rebellion, nor
in sin, O LORD.
4
They run and prepare themselves when
I have committed no iniquity; awake to help me and behold.
5
Thou, therefore, O LORD God of the hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the Gentiles; be not merciful to any rebellious
workers of iniquity. Selah.
6
They will return at evening; they will bark like dogs and go round about
outside the city.
7
Behold, they belch out with their mouth; swords
are in their lips; for who,
say they, doth hear?
8
But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the Gentiles in derision.
9
I will reserve his strength unto thee, for God
is my defence.
10
The God of my mercy shall meet me
on the way; God shall let me see
my desire upon my enemies.
