1To the Chanter, destroy not Michtam of David, when Saul sent to watch the house, to the intent to kill him. Deliver me from mine enemies (O my God) and defend me from them that rise up against me.
2O deliver me from the wicked doers, and save me from the bloodthirsty men.
3For lo, they lie in waiting for my soul: the mighty men are gathered together against me, without any offense or fault of me, O LORD.
4They run, and prepare themselves, without my fault: Arise, come thou help me, and behold.
5Stand(Stode) up O LORD God of Hosts, thou God of Israel to visit all Heathen: be not merciful unto them that offend of malicious wickedness. Selah.
6Let them go to and fro, and run about the city, howling(yowling) like dogs.
7Behold, they speak (against me) with their mouth, swords are under their lips, for who reproveth them?
8But thou (O LORD) shalt have them in derision, thou shalt laugh all Heathen to scorn.
9My strength do I ascribe unto thee, for thou (O God) art my defender.
10God sheweth me his goodness plentiously, God letteth me see my desire upon mine enemies.
11Slay them not, lest my people forget it: but scatter them abroad with thy power, and put them down, O Lord my defense.(o LORDE our defence)
12For the sin of their mouth, for the words of their lips, and because of their pride, let them be taken: and why? their preaching is of cursing and lies.
13Consume them in thy wrath, consume them that they may perish, and know that it is God, which ruleth in Jacob and in all the world. Selah.
14Let them go to and fro, and run about the city, howling(yowling) like dogs.
15Let them run here and there for meat, and grudge when they have not enough.
16As for me, I will sing of thy power, and praise thy mercy by times(betimes) in the morning: for thou art my defense and refuge in the time of my trouble.
17Unto thee (O my strength) will I sing, for thou (O God) art my defense, and my merciful God.
