1 Deliver me from my enemies, my God; protect me from those who rise up against me.
2 Deliver me from those who practice sin,and save me from men of bloodshed.
3 Lord, look! They set an ambush for me. Powerful men attack me,but not because of any sin or rebellion of mine.
4 For no fault of mine,they run and take up a position.Awake to help me, and take notice.
5 Lord God of Hosts, You are the God of Israel,rise up to punish all the nations;do not show grace to any wicked traitors. Selah
6 They return at evening, snarling like dogsand prowling around the city.
