Dual Panel1For the music director <05329>; according to the al-tashcheth style <0516>; a prayer <04387> of David <01732>, written when Saul <07586> sent <07971> men to surround <08104> his house <01004> and murder <04191> him. Deliver <05337> me from my enemies <0341>, my God <0430>! Protect <07682> me from those who attack <06965> me!
2Deliver <05337> me from evildoers <0205> <06466>! Rescue <03467> me from violent <01818> men <0582>!
3For <03588> look <02009>, they wait to ambush <0693> me; powerful men <05794> stalk <01481> me, but not <03808> because I have rebelled <06588> or <03808> sinned <02403>, O Lord <03068>.
4Though I have done nothing <01097> wrong <05771>, they are anxious to attack <03559> <07323>. Spring into action <05782> and help <07125> me! Take notice <07200> of me!
5You <0859>, O Lord <03068> God <0430>, the invincible warrior <06635>, the God <0430> of Israel <03478>, rouse <06974> yourself and punish <06485> all <03605> the nations <01471>! Have no <0408> mercy <02603> on any <03605> treacherous <0898> evildoers <0205>! (Selah <05542>)
6They return <07725> in the evening <06153>; they growl <01993> like a dog <03611> and prowl around outside <05437> the city <05892>.
7Look <02009>, they hurl insults <05042> at me and openly threaten to kill me <08193> <02719> <06310>, for <03588> they say, “Who <04310> hears <08085>?”
8But you <0859>, O Lord <03068>, laugh <07832> in disgust at them; you taunt <03932> all <03605> the nations <01471>.
9You are my source of strength <05797>! I will wait <08104> for <0413> you! For <03588> God <0430> is my refuge <04869>.
10The God <0430> who loves <02617> me will help <06923> me; God <0430> will enable <07200> me to triumph over my enemies <08324>.
11Do not <0408> strike <02026> them dead suddenly, because <06435> then my people <05971> might forget <07911> the lesson. Use your power <02428> to make them homeless vagabonds <05128> and then bring <03381> them down <03381>, O Lord <0136> who shields <04043> us!
12They speak <06310> sinful <02403> words <08193> <01697>. So let them be trapped <03920> by their own pride <01347> and by the curses <0423> and lies <03585> they speak <05608>!
13Angrily <02534> wipe <03615> them out <03615>! Wipe <03615> them out <03615> so they vanish <0369>! Let them know <03045> that <03588> God <0430> rules <04910> in Jacob <03290> and to the ends <0657> of the earth <0776>! (Selah <05542>)
14They return <07725> in the evening <06153>; they growl <01993> like a dog <03611> and prowl around outside <05437> the city <05892>.
15They <01992> wander <05128> around looking for something to eat <0398>; they refuse to sleep <03885> until they are full <07646>.
16As for me, I <0589> will sing <07891> about your strength <05797>; I will praise <07442> your loyal love <02617> in the morning <01242>. For <03588> you are <01961> my refuge <04869> and my place of shelter <04498> when <03117> I face trouble <06862>.
17You are my source of strength <05797>! I will sing praises <02167> to <0413> you! For <03588> God <0430> is my refuge <04869>, the God <0430> who loves <02617> me.
