For the leader; al tashḥeth. Of David. A michtam; when Saul sent men to watch his house in order to put him to death.awhen Saul sent … death Cf. 1 Sam. 19.11. Save me from my enemies, O my God;
secure me against my assailants. Save me from evildoers;
deliver me from murderers. For see, they lie in wait for me;
fierce people plot against me
for no offense of mine,
for no transgression, O ETERNAL One; for no guilt of mine
do they rush to array themselves against me.
Look, rouse Yourself in my behalf! You, O ETERNAL One, God of hosts,
God of Israel,
bestir Yourself to bring all nations to account;
have no mercy on any treacherous villain. Selah. They come each evening growling like dogs,
roaming the city. They rave with their mouths,
sharp wordsbsharp words Lit. “swords.” are on their lips;
[they think,] “Who hears?” But You, O ETERNAL One, laugh at them;
You mock all the nations. O mycmy With several mss.; cf. v. 18; Heb. 3rd person. strength, I wait for You;
for God is my haven. My faithful God will come to aid me;
God will let me gloat over my watchful foes. Do not kill them lest my people be unmindful;
with Your power make wanderers of them;
bring them low, O our shield, my Sovereign, because of their sinful mouths,
the words on their lips.
Let them be trapped by their pride,
and by the imprecations and lies they utter. In Your fury put an end to them;
put an end to them that they be no more;
that it may be known to the ends of the earth
that God does rule over Jacob. Selah. They come each evening growling like dogs,
roaming the city. They wander in search of food;
and whine if they are not satisfied. But I will sing of Your strength,
extol each morning Your faithfulness;
for You have been my haven,
a refuge in time of trouble. O my strength, to You I sing hymns;
for God is my haven, my faithful God.
