1. God, save me from my enemies.Protect me from those who come against me.
2. Save me from those who do evil.Save me from murderers.
3. Look, men are waiting to attack me.Cruel men attack me.But I have not sinned or done wrong, Lord.
4. I have done nothing wrong, but they are ready to attack me.Wake up to help me and look.
5. You are the Lord God of heaven’s armies, the God of Israel.Come and punish those people.Do not give those traitors any mercy. Selah
6. They come back at night.Like dogs they growl and roam around the city.
7. Notice what comes from their mouths.Insults come from their lips.They say, “Who’s listening?”
8. But, Lord, you laugh at them.You make fun of all of them.
9. God, my strength, I wait for you.God, you are my protection.
10. My God loves me, and he will be with me.He will help me defeat my enemies.
