## Text

[1] Deliver me from my enemies, O my God;
protect me from those who rise against me. [2] Deliver me from workers of iniquity,
and save me from men of bloodshed. [3] See how they lie in wait for me.
Fierce men conspire against me
for no transgression or sin of my own, O LORD. [4] For no fault of my own,
they move swiftly to attack me.
Arise to help me, and take notice. [5] O LORD God of Hosts, the God of Israel,
rouse Yourself to punish all the nations;
show no mercy to the wicked traitors.
Selah [6] They return in the evening, snarling like dogs
and prowling around the city. [7] See what they spew from their mouths—
sharp words from their lips:
“For who can hear us?” [8] But You, O LORD, laugh at them;
You scoff at all the nations. [9] I will keep watch for You, O my strength,
because You, O God, are my fortress. [10] My God of loving devotion will come to meet me;
God will let me stare down my foes. [11] Do not kill them,
or my people will forget.
Scatter them by Your power,
and bring them down,
O Lord, our shield. [12] By the sins of their mouths
and the words of their lips,
let them be trapped in their pride,
in the curses and lies they utter. [13] Consume them in wrath;
consume them till they are no more,
so it may be known to the ends of the earth
that God rules over Jacob.
Selah [14] They return in the evening,
snarling like dogs
and prowling around the city. [15] They scavenge for food,
and growl if they are not satisfied. [16] But I will sing of Your strength
and proclaim Your loving devotion in the morning.
For You are my fortress,
my refuge in times of trouble. [17] To You, O my strength, I sing praises,
for You, O God, are my fortress,
my God of loving devotion.
