MLV(i)
1 Deliver me from my enemies, O my God. Set me on high from those who rise up against me.
2 Deliver me from the workers of wickedness and save me from the bloodthirsty men.
3 Because behold, they lie in wait for my soul.
The mighty gather themselves together against me, not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O Jehovah. 4 They run and prepare themselves without my fault. Awake to help me and behold.
5 Even you, O Jehovah God of hosts, the God of Israel, arise to visit all the nations. Do not be merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah.
6 They return at evening. They howl like a dog and go all around the city. 7 Behold, they pour out words with their mouth. Swords are in their lips, because they say, Who hears?
8 But you, O Jehovah, will mock them. You will laugh all the nations to scorn.
9 O my strength, I will give heed to you, because God is my high tower. 10 My God with his loving kindness will meet me. God will let me look upon my enemies.
11 Kill them not, lest my people forget. Scatter them by your power and bring them down, O Lord our shield, 12 for the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips. Let them even be taken in their pride and on the cursing and lying which they speak.
13 Consume them in wrath, consume them, so that they will be no more. And let them know that God rules in Jacob, to the ends of the earth. Selah.
14 And at evening let them return, let them howl like a dog and go all around the city. 15 They will wander up and down for food and abide all night if they are not satisfied.
16 But I will sing of your strength. Yes, I will sing aloud of your loving kindness in the morning. Because you have been my high tower and a refuge in the day of my distress. 17 To you, O my strength, I will sing praises. Because God is my high tower, the God of my mercy.
