English.png English text

1  Deliver me from mine enemies, O God : defend me from them that rise up against me.

2  O deliver me from the wicked doers : and save me from the blood-thirsty men.

3  For lo, they lie waiting for my soul : the mighty men are gathered against me, without any offence or fault of me, O Lord.

4  They run and prepare themselves without my fault : arise thou therefore to help me, and behold.

5  Stand up, O Lord God of hosts, thou God of Israel, to visit all the heathen : and be not merciful unto them that offend of malicious wickedness.

6  They go to and fro in the evening : they grin like a dog, and run about through the city.

7  Behold, they speak with their mouth, and swords are in their lips : for who doth hear?

8  But thou. O Lord, shalt have them in derision : and thou shalt laugh all the heathen to scorn.

9  My strength will I ascribe unto thee : for thou art the God of my refuge.

10  God sheweth me his goodness plenteously : and God shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies.

11  Slay them not, lest my people forget it : but scatter them abroad among the people, and put them down, O Lord, our defence.

12  For the sin of their mouth, and for the words of their lips, they shall be taken in their pride : and why? their preaching is of cursing and lies.

13  Consume them in thy wrath, consume them, that they may perish : and know that it is God that ruleth in Jacob, and unto the ends of the world.

14  And in the evening they will return : grin like a dog, and will go about the city.

15  They will run here and there for meat : and grudge if they be not satisfied.

16  As for me, I will sing of thy power, and will praise thy mercy betimes in the morning : for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble.

17  Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing : for thou, O God, art my refuge, and my merciful God.
