1 Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; protect me from those who rise up against me;
2 deliver me from those who work evil,and save me from bloodthirsty men.
3 For behold, they lie in wait for my life;fierce men stir up strife against me. For no transgression or sin of mine, O Lord,
4 for no fault of mine, they run and make ready. Awake, come to meet me, and see!
5 You, Lord God of hosts, are God of Israel.Rouse yourself to punish all the nations;spare none of those who treacherously plot evil. Selah
6 Each evening they come back,howling like dogsand prowling about the city.
