Deliver me from my enemies, my God. Set me on high from those who rise up against me.
|

3. |
Deliver me from the workers of iniquity. Save me from the bloodthirsty men.

For, behold, they lie in wait for my soul. The mighty gather themselves together against me, Not for my disobedience, nor for my sin, Yahweh.

They return at evening, howling like dogs, And prowl around the city.

Consume them in wrath. Consume them, and they will be no more. Let them know that God rules in Jacob, To the ends of the earth. Selah.
|
|
15. |
At evening let them return. Let them howl like a dog, and go around the city.
|
|
16. |
They shall wander up and down for food, And wait all night if they aren't satisfied.

|
17. |
But I will sing of your strength. Yes, I will sing aloud of your lovingkindness in the morning. For you have been my high tower, A refuge in the day of my distress.
|
|
18. |
To you, my strength, I will sing praises. For God is my high tower, the God of my mercy.
