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
