the

Musician,
Altaschith,
Michtam
of
David;
when
Saul
sent,
and
they
watched
the
house
to
kill
him.
Deliver
me
from
mine
enemies,
O
my
God:
defend
me
from
them
that
rise
up
against
2
Deliver
me
from
the
workers
of
iniquity,
and
save
me
from
bloody
men.
3
For,
lo,
they
lie
in
wait
for
my
soul:
the
mighty
are
gathered
against
me;
not
[for]
my
transgression,
nor
[for]
my
sin,
O
LORD.
4
They
run
and
prepare
themselves
without
[my]
fault:
awake
to
help
me,
and
behold.
5
Thou
therefore,
O
LORD
God
of
hosts,
the
God
of
Israel,
awake
to
visit
all
the
heathen:
be
not
merciful
to
any
wicked
transgressors.
Selah.
6
They
return
at
evening:
they
make
a
noise
like
a
dog,
and
go
round
about
the
city.
7
Behold,
they
belch
out
with
their
mouth:
swords
[are]
in
their
lips:
for
who,
[say
they],
doth
hear?
8
But
thou,
O
LORD,
shalt
laugh
at
them;
thou
shalt
have
all
the
heathen
in
derision.
9
[Because
of]
his
strength
will
I
wait
upon
thee:
for
God
[is]
my
defence.
10
The
God
of
my
mercy
shall
prevent
me:
God
shall
let
me
see
[my
desire]
upon
mine
enemies.
11
Slay
them
not,
lest
my
people
forget:
scatter
them
by
thy
power;
and
bring
them
down,
O
Lord
our
shield.
12
[For]
the
sin
of
their
mouth
[and]
the
words
of
their
lips
let
them
even
be
taken
in
their
pride:
and
for
cursing
and
lying
[which]
they
speak.
13
Consume
[them]
in
wrath,
consume
[them],
that
they
[may]
not
[be]:
and
let
them
know
that
God
ruleth
in
Jacob
unto
the
ends
of
the
earth.
Selah.
14
And
at
evening
let
them
return;
[and]
let
them
make
a
noise
like
a
dog,
and
go
round
about
the
city.
15
Let
them
wander
up
and
down
for
meat,
and
grudge
if
they
be
not
satisfied.
16
But
I
will
sing
of
thy
power;
yea,
I
will
sing
aloud
of
thy
mercy
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
God
[is]
my
defence,
[and]
the
God
of
my
mercy.
