|
2. Rescue me from my enemies, my God; lift me out of reach of my foes.
|
2. Deliver H5337 me from the workers H4480 H6466 of iniquity H205 , and save H3467 me from bloody H1818 men H4480 H376 .
|
|

|
3. For H3588 , lo H2009 , they lie in wait H693 for my soul H5315 : the mighty H5794 are gathered H1481 against H5921 me; not H3808 for my transgression H6588 , nor H3808 for my sin H2403 , O LORD H3068 .
|
|
4. They have set an ambush for my life; the powerful conspire against me. For no offense or misdeed of mine, LORD,
|
4. They run H7323 and prepare themselves H3559 without H1097 my fault H5771 : awake H5782 to help H7125 me , and behold H7200 .
|
|
5. for no fault they hurry to take up arms. Come near and see my plight!
|
5. Thou H859 therefore , O LORD H3068 God H430 of hosts H6635 , the God H430 of Israel H3478 , awake H6974 to visit H6485 all H3605 the heathen H1471 : be not H408 merciful H2603 to any H3605 wicked H205 transgressors H898 . Selah H5542 .
|
|
6. You, LORD of hosts, are the God of Israel! Awake! Punish all the nations. Have no mercy on these worthless traitors. Selah

6. They return H7725 at evening H6153 : they make a noise H1993 like a dog H3611 , and go round about H5437 the city H5892 .
|
|
7. Each evening they return, growling like dogs, prowling the city.
|
7. Behold H2009 , they belch out H5042 with their mouth H6310 : swords H2719 are in their lips H8193 : for H3588 who H4310 , say they , doth hear H8085 ?
|
|
8. Their mouths pour out insult; sharp words are on their lips. They say: "Who is there to hear?"
|
8. But thou H859 , O LORD H3068 , shalt laugh H7832 at them ; thou shalt have all H3605 the heathen H1471 in derision H3932 .
|
|
9. You, LORD, laugh at them; you deride all the nations.
|
9. Because of his strength H5797 will I wait H8104 upon H413 thee: for H3588 God H430 is my defense H4869 .
|
|
10. My strength, for you I watch; you, God, are my fortress,
|
10. The God H430 of my mercy H2617 shall prevent H6923 me: God H430 shall let me see H7200 my desire upon mine enemies H8324 .
|
|
11. my loving God.
|
11. Slay H2026 them not H408 , lest H6435 my people H5971 forget H7911 : scatter H5128 them by thy power H2428 ; and bring them down H3381 , O Lord H136 our shield H4043 .
|
|
12. May God go before me, and show me my fallen foes. Slay them, God, lest they deceive my people. Shake them by your power; Lord, our shield, bring them down.
|
12. For the sin H2403 of their mouth H6310 and the words H1697 of their lips H8193 let them even be taken H3920 in their pride H1347 : and for cursing H4480 H423 and lying H4480 H3585 which they speak H5608 .
|
|
13. For the sinful words of their mouths and lips let them be caught in their pride. For the lies they have told under oath
|
13. Consume H3615 them in wrath H2534 , consume H3615 them , that they may not H369 be : and let them know H3045 that H3588 God H430 ruleth H4910 in Jacob H3290 unto the ends H657 of the earth H776 . Selah H5542 .
|
|

|
|
16. They roam about as scavengers; if they are not filled, they howl.
|
16. But I H589 will sing H7891 of thy power H5797 ; yea , I will sing aloud H7442 of thy mercy H2617 in the morning H1242 : for H3588 thou hast been H1961 my defense H4869 and refuge H4498 in the day H3117 of my trouble H6862 .
|
|
17. But I shall sing of your strength, extol your love at dawn, For you are my fortress, my refuge in time of trouble.
|
17. Unto H413 thee , O my strength H5797 , will I sing H2167 : for H3588 God H430 is my defense H4869 , and the God H430 of my mercy H2617 .
|
|
18. My strength, your praise I will sing; you, God, are my fortress, my loving God.
