1. To the Overseer. --`Destroy not,' by David. --A secret treasure, in Saul's sending, and they watch the house to put him to death. Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God, From my withstanders set me on high.
2. Deliver me from workers of iniquity, And from men of blood save me.
3. For, lo, they laid wait for my soul, Assembled against me are strong ones, Not my transgression nor my sin, O Jehovah.
4. Without punishment they run and prepare themselves, Stir up to meet me, and see.
5. And Thou, Jehovah, God of Hosts, God of Israel, Awake to inspect all the nations. Favour not any treacherous dealers of iniquity. Selah.
6. They turn back at evening, They make a noise like a dog, And go round about the city.
7. Lo, they belch out with their mouths, Swords [are] in their lips, for `Who heareth?'
8. And Thou, O Jehovah dost laugh at them, Thou dost mock at all the nations.
9. O my Strength, unto Thee I take heed, For God [is] my tower--the God of my kindness.
