1 For the director. Do not destroy. A miktam of David, when Saul sent people to watch his house and kill him.
2 Rescue me from my enemies, my God;lift me out of reach of my foes.
3 Deliver me from evildoers;from the bloodthirsty save me.
4 They have set an ambush for my life;the powerful conspire against me.For no offense or misdeed of mine, Lord,
5 for no fault they hurry to take up arms.Come near and see my plight!
6 You, Lord God of hosts, are the God of Israel!Awake! Punish all the nations.Have no mercy on these worthless traitors.Selah
