God, save me from my enemies. Protect me from those who come against me.
2
Save me from those who do evil and from murderers.
3
Look, men are waiting to ambush me. Cruel men attack me, but I have not sinned or done wrong, Lord.
4
I have done nothing wrong, but they are ready to attack me. Wake up to help me, and look.
5
You are the Lord God All-Powerful, the God of Israel. Arise and punish those people. Do not give those traitors any mercy. Selah

They come back at night. Like dogs they growl and roam around the city.

Notice what comes from their mouths. Insults come from their lips, because they say, "Who's listening?"
8
But, Lord, you laugh at them; you make fun of all of them.
9
God, my strength, I am looking to you, because God is my defender.
10
My God loves me, and he goes in front of me. He will help me defeat my enemies.
