| 1. | Unto the end, destroy not, for David for an inscription of It title, when Saul sent and watched his house to kill him. |
| 2. | Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; and defend me from them that rise up against me. |
| 3. | Deliver me from them that work iniquity, and save me from bloody men. |
| 4. | For behold they have caught my soul: the mighty have rushed in upon me: |
| 5. | Neither is it my iniquity, nor my sin, O Lord: without iniquity have I run, and directed my steps. |
| 6. | Rise up thou to meet me, and behold: even thou, O Lord, the God of hosts, the God of Israel. Attend to visit all the nations: have no mercy on all them that work iniquity. |
| 7. | They shall return at evening, and shall suffer hunger like dogs: and shall go round about the city. |
| 8. | Behold they shall speak with their mouth, and a sword is in their lips: for who, say they, hath heard us ? |
| 9. | But thou, O Lord, shalt laugh at them: thou shalt bring all the nations to nothing. |
| 10. | I will keep my strength to thee: for thou art my protector: |
| 11. | my God, his mercy shall prevent me. |
| 12. | God shall let me see over my enemies: slay them not, lest at any time my people forget. Scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Lord, my protector: |
| 13. | For the sin of their mouth, and the word of their lips: and let them be taken in their pride. And for their cursing and lying they shall be talked of, |
| 14. | when they are consumed: when they are consumed by thy wrath, and they shall be no more. And they shall know that God will rule Jacob, and all the ends of the earth. |
| 15. | They shall return at evening and shall suffer hunger like dogs: and shall go round about the city. |
| 16. | They shall be scattered abroad to eat, and shall murmur if they be not filled. |
| 17. | But I will sing thy strength: and will extol thy mercy in the morning. For thou art become my support, and my refuge, in the day of my trouble. |
| 18. | Unto thee, O my helper, will I sing, for thou art God my defence: my God my mercy. |
