To the chief MusicianH5329, AltaschithH516, MichtamH4387 of DavidH1732; when SaulH7586 sentH7971, and they watchedH8104 the houseH1004 to kill himH4191. DeliverH5337 me from mine enemiesH341, O my GodH430: defendH7682 me from them that rise upH6965 against me. {Altaschith…: or, To the chief Musician, destroy not, a golden Psalm of David} {defend…: Heb. set me on high}
DeliverH5337 me from the workersH6466 of iniquityH205, and saveH3467 me from bloodyH1818 menH582.
For, lo, they lie in waitH693 for my soulH5315: the mightyH5794 are gatheredH1481 against me; not for my transgressionH6588, nor for my sinH2403, O LORDH3068.
They runH7323 and prepareH3559 themselves without my faultH5771: awakeH5782 to helpH7125 me, and beholdH7200. {help: Heb. meet}
Thou therefore, O LORDH3068 GodH430 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, awakeH6974 to visitH6485 all the heathenH1471: be not mercifulH2603 to any wickedH205 transgressorsH898. SelahH5542.
They returnH7725 at eveningH6153: they make a noiseH1993 like a dogH3611, and go round aboutH5437 the cityH5892.
Behold, they belch outH5042 with their mouthH6310: swordsH2719 are in their lipsH8193: for who, say they, doth hearH8085?
But thou, O LORDH3068, shalt laughH7832 at them; thou shalt have all the heathenH1471 in derisionH3932.
Because of his strengthH5797 will I waitH8104 upon thee: for GodH430 is my defenceH4869. {defence: Heb. high place}
The GodH430 of my mercyH2617 shall preventH6923 me: GodH430 shall let me seeH7200 my desire upon mine enemiesH8324. {enemies: Heb. observers}
SlayH2026 them not, lest my peopleH5971 forgetH7911: scatterH5128 them by thy powerH2428; and bring them downH3381, O LordH136 our shieldH4043.
For the sinH2403 of their mouthH6310 and the wordsH1697 of their lipsH8193 let them even be takenH3920 in their prideH1347: and for cursingH423 and lyingH3585 which they speakH5608.
ConsumeH3615 them in wrathH2534, consumeH3615 them, that they may not be: and let them knowH3045 that GodH430 rulethH4910 in JacobH3290 unto the endsH657 of the earthH776. SelahH5542.
And at eveningH6153 let them returnH7725; and let them make a noiseH1993 like a dogH3611, and go round aboutH5437 the cityH5892.
Let them wander up and downH5128+H5128 for meatH398, and grudgeH3885 if they be not satisfiedH7646. {for meat: Heb. to eat} {and grudge…: or, if they be not satisfied, then they will stay all night}
But I will singH7891 of thy powerH5797; yea, I will sing aloudH7442 of thy mercyH2617 in the morningH1242: for thou hast been my defenceH4869 and refugeH4498 in the dayH3117 of my troubleH6862.
Unto thee, O my strengthH5797, will I singH2167: for GodH430 is my defenceH4869, and the GodH430 of my mercyH2617.

My soulH5315 is amongH8432 lionsH3833: and I lieH7901 even among them that are set on fireH3857, even the sonsH1121 of menH120, whose teethH8127 are spearsH2595 and arrowsH2671, and their tongueH3956 a sharpH2299 swordH2719.
Wherefore doth the wickedH7563 contemnH5006 GodH430? he hath saidH559 in his heartH3820, Thou wilt not requireH1875 it.

That they may shootH3384 in secretH4565 at the perfectH8535: suddenlyH6597 do they shootH3384 at him, and fearH3372 not.
