\v 1 Rescue me from my enemies, my God;
|
|
\q set me on high away from those who rise up against me.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 2 Keep me safe from the workers of iniquity,
|
|
\q and save me from the bloodthirsty men.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 3 For, see, they wait in ambush to take my life.
|
|
\q The mighty evildoers gather themselves together against me,
|
|
\q but not because of my transgression or my sin, Yahweh.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 4 They prepare to run at me although I am without fault;
|
|
\q awake and help me and see.
|

\v 5 You, Yahweh God of hosts, the God of Israel,
|

\q
|
|
\v 6 They return at evening, they howl like dogs
|
|
\q and go around the city.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 7 See, they belch out with their mouths;
|
|
\q swords are in their lips,
|
|
\q for they say, "Who hears us?"
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 8 But you, Yahweh, laugh at them;
|
|
\q you hold all the nations in derision.
|

\q
|
|
\v 9 God, my strength, I will pay attention to you;
|
|
\q you are my high tower.

|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 10 My God will meet me with his covenant faithfulness;
|
|
\q God will let me see my desire on my enemies.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 11 Do not kill them, or my people will forget.
|
|
\q Scatter them by your power and make them fall, Lord our shield.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 12 For the sins of their mouths and the words of their lips,
|
|
\q let them be captured in their pride,
|
|
\q and for the curses and lies that they express.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 13 Consume them in wrath, consume them so that they will be no more;
|
|
\q let them know that God rules in Jacob
|
|
\q and to the ends of the earth.

\v 14 At evening they return,
|
|
\q howling like dogs going around the city.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 15 They wander about looking for food
|
|
\q and they growl like a dog if they are not satisfied.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 16 But I will sing about your strength,
|
|
\q and in the morning I will sing about your steadfast love!
|
|
\q For you have been my high tower
|
|
\q and a refuge in the day of my distress.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 17 To you, my strength, I will sing praises;
|
|
\q for God is my high tower, the God of covenant faithfulness.
