1Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God:defend me from them that rise up against me.2Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men.3For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul:the mighty are gathered against me;not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O LORD.4They run and prepare themselves without my fault:awake to help me, and behold.5Thou therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the heathen:be not merciful to any wicked transgressors.
Selah
6They return at evening:they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.7Behold, they belch out with their mouth:swords are in their lips:for who, say they, doth hear?8But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them;thou shalt have all the heathen in derision.9Because of his strength will I wait upon thee:for God is my defence.10The God of my mercy shall prevent me:God shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies.11Slay them not, lest my people forget:scatter them by thy power;and bring them down, O Lord our shield.12For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride:and for cursing and lying which they speak.13Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be:and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the earth.Selah
14And at evening let them return;and let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.15Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be not satisfied.16But I will sing of thy power;yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning:for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble.17Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing:for God is my defence, and the God of my mercy.Press a verse to light it · again for the pen · King James
