1. Deliver me from my enemies, my God!Protect me from those who attack me!
2. Deliver me from evildoers!Rescue me from violent men!
3. For look, they wait to ambush me;powerful men stalk me,but not because I have rebelled or sinned, O Lord.
4. Though I have done nothing wrong, they are anxious to attack.Spring into action and help me! Take notice of me!
5. You, O Lord God, the invincible warrior, the God of Israel,rouse yourself and punish all the nations!Have no mercy on any treacherous evildoers! (Selah)
6. They return in the evening;they growl like a dogand prowl around outside the city.
7. Look, they hurl insults at meand openly threaten to kill me,for they say,“Who hears?”
