1. Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God secure me on high from them that rise up against me.
2. Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from men of blood.
3. For behold, they lie in wait for my soul; strong ones are gathered against me: not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O Jehovah.
4. They run and prepare themselves without my fault: awake to meet me, and behold.
5. Yea, do thou, Jehovah, the God of hosts, the God of Israel, arise to visit all the nations: be not gracious to any plotters of iniquity. Selah.
6. They return in the evening; they howl like a dog, and go round about the city:
7. Behold, they belch out with their mouth; swords are in their lips: for who say they doth hear?
8. But thou, Jehovah, wilt laugh at them; thou wilt have all the nations in derision.
9. Their strength! ...I will take heed to thee; for God is my high fortress.
10. God, whose loving-kindness will come to meet me, --God shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies.
