1 For the music director: “Do Not Destroy,” a Michtam of David, when Saul sent men to watch the house to kill him.
2 Deliver me from my enemies, my God! Set me on high, away from those who rise up against me.
3 Deliver me from workers of iniquity. Rescue me from bloodthirsty men.
4 For behold, they lie in wait for me. Defiant men stir up strife against me— not for my transgression or sin, Adonai.
5 For no guilt of mine, they run and set things up. Awake! Help me! Look!
6 For You are Adonai Elohei-Tzva’ot, the God of Israel! Rouse Yourself to punish all the nations. Show no mercy to any iniquitous traitors. Selah
