1 To the overseer, Thou wilt not destroy, to David a poem; in Saul sending, and they will watch the house to kill him. Deliver me from mine enemies, O God: thou wilt set me on high from those rising up against me.
2 Deliver me from those working vanity, and save me from men of bloods.
3 For behold, they lay in wait for my soul: the strong will gather against me; not my transgression and not my sin, O Jehovah.
4 Not iniquity, they will run and they will prepare: be aroused to meet me, and see.
5 And thou Jehovah God of armies, God of Israel, awake to review all the nations: thou wilt not compassionate all covering iniquity. Silence.
6 They will turn back at evening: they will make a noise as a dog, and they will surround the city.
7 Behold, they will gush out with their mouth: swords in their lips: for who heard?
8 And thou, O Jehovah, wilt laugh at them; thou wilt deride at all the nations.
9 His strength for thee will I watch: for God my height
10 My God, his mercy shall anticipate me: God shall cause me to look upon mine enemies.
11 Thou wilt not kill them lest my people shall forget: cause them to wander to and fro by thy strength, and bring them down, O Jehovah, our shield.
12 The sin of their mouth the word of their lips, and they shall be taken in their pride: and from cursing and from falsehood they will recount.
13 Finish in wrath, finish, and they not be: and they knew that God ruled in Jacob to the ends of the earth. Silence.
