1 Oh, my God, deliver me from my enemies;put me out of reach from those who rise up against me.
2 Deliver me from evildoers;save me from the bloodthirsty.
3 Look at how they lie in ambush for my life!Powerful people are attacking me, Lord—but not because of any error or sin of mine.
4 They run and take their stand—but not because of any fault of mine.Get up when I cry out to you!Look at what’s happening!
5 You are the Lord God of heavenly forces,the God of Israel!Wake up and punish all the nations!Grant no mercy to any wicked traitor! Selah
6 They come back every evening,growling like dogs,prowling around the city.
7 See what they belch out with their mouths:swords are between their lips!Who can listen to them?
