1. Deliver me from my enemies, O my God;give me refuge from those who rise up against me.
2. Deliver me from the workers of iniquity,and save me from bloodthirsty people.
3. For they lie in wait for my life;the mighty are gathered against me,not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O Lord.
4. For no guilt of mine, they run and prepare themselves.Arise to help me, and take notice.
5. You, O Lord God of Hosts, the God of Israel,awake to punish all the nations;do not be gracious to any wicked transgressors. Selah
6. They return at evening,they growl like a dog,and go around the city.
7. Indeed, they burst out with their mouth;swords are in their lips;for who listens?
8. But You, O Lord, will laugh at them;You will have all the nations in derision.
