To the chief musician; Al-tascheth , of David, Michtam; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to put him to death.{HR}Deliver me from mine enemies, my God;{HR}Set me on high from those that rise up against me.
Deliver me from doers of iniquity,{HR}And save me from men of blood.
For, behold, they lie in wait for my soul;{HR}Strong ones assemble against me:{HR}Not [for] my transgression, not my sin, Jehovah.
Without [my] iniquity they run and set themselves:{HR}Awake to meet me and see.
And thou, Jehovah, God of hosts, God of Israel,{HR}Arise to visit all the nations;{HR}Be not gracious to any plotters of iniquity. Selah.
Let them return at the evening,{HR}Let them howl like the dog,{HR}And go around the city.
Behold, they belch out with their mouth:{HR}Swords [are] in their lips; for who heareth?
But thou, Jehovah, wilt laugh at them;{HR}Thou wilt mock at all the nations.
Their strength! I will watch for thee,{HR}For God is my high place.
The God of my mercy will come to meet me;{HR}God will make me gaze on mine enemies.
Slay them not, lest my people forget;{HR}Scatter them in thy power and bring them down,{HR}O Lord our shield.
The sin of their mouth [is] the word of their lips;{HR}And they shall be taken in their pride,{HR}And for cursing and falsehood they will tell.
Consume in wrath, consume [them],{HR}And let them be no more;{HR}And let them know that God ruleth in Jacob{HR}To the ends of the earth. Selah.
And at the evening let them return,{HR}Let them howl like the dog,{HR}And go around the city.
They shall wander for food;{HR}If they be not satisfied,{HR}Then they tarry all night.
And for me, I will sing of thy strength,{HR}And will in the morning shout for joy of thy mercy;{HR}For thou hast been a high place to me,{HR}And a refuge in the day of trouble to me.
My strength, unto thee will I sing psalms,{HR}For God is my high place,{HR}The God of my mercy.
