1Deliver meH5337 from my enemiesH341, O my GodH430;protect meH7682 from those who rise against meH6965.2Deliver meH5337 from workersH6466 of iniquityH205H376,and save meH3467 from men of bloodshedH1818.3SeeH3588H2009 how they lie in waitH693 for meH5315.Fierce menH5794 conspireH1481 against meH5921for noH3808 transgressionH6588 or sinH2403 of my own, O LORDH3068.4For noH1097 fault of my ownH5771,they move swiftlyH7323 to attack meH3559.AriseH5782 to help meH7122, and take noticeH7200.5O LORDH859H3068 GodH430 of HostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478,rouse YourselfH6974 to punishH6485 allH3605 the nationsH1471;show noH408 mercyH2603 to theH3605 wickedH205 traitorsH898.SelahH55426They returnH7725 in the eveningH6153, snarlingH1993 like dogsH3611and prowling aroundH5437 the cityH5892.7See whatH2009 they spewH5042 from their mouthsH6310—sharp wordsH2719 from their lipsH8193:“ForH3588 whoH4310 can hear usH8085?”8But YouH859, O LORDH3068, laughH7832 at them;You scoffH3932 at allH3605 the nationsH1471.9I will keep watchH8104 for YouH413, O my strengthH5797,becauseH3588 You, O GodH430, are my fortressH4869.10My GodH430 of loving devotionH2617 will come to meet meH6923;GodH430 will let me stare downH7200 my foesH8324.
11Do notH408 kill themH2026,orH6435 my peopleH5971 will forgetH7911.Scatter themH5128 by Your powerH2428,and bring them downH3381,O LordH136, our shieldH4043.12By the sinsH2403 of their mouthsH6310and the wordsH1697 of their lipsH8193,let them be trappedH3920 in their prideH1347,in the cursesH423 and liesH3585 they utterH5608.13ConsumeH3615 them in wrathH2534;consume themH3615 till they are no moreH369,so it may be knownH3045 to the endsH657 of the earthH776thatH3588 GodH430 rulesH4910 over JacobH3290.SelahH554214They returnH7725 in the eveningH6153,snarlingH1993 like dogsH3611and prowling aroundH5437 the cityH5892.15TheyH1992 scavengeH5128 for foodH398,and growlH3885 ifH518 they are notH3808 satisfiedH7646.
