Deliver me from my enemies

(1 Samuel 19:1-24)

Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; protect me from those who rise against me.

Deliver me from workers of iniquity, and save me from men of bloodshed.

See how they lie in wait for me. Fierce men conspire against me for no transgression or sin of my own, O LORD.

For no fault of my own, they move swiftly to attack me. Arise to help me, and take notice.

O LORD God of Hosts, the God of Israel, rouse Yourself to punish all the nations; show no mercy to the wicked traitors.

Selah They return in the evening, snarling like dogs and prowling around the city.

See what they spew from their mouths— sharp words from their lips: “For who can hear us?”

But You, O LORD, laugh at them; You scoff at all the nations.

I will keep watch for You, O my strength, because You, O God, are my fortress.

My God of loving devotion will come to meet me; God will let me stare down my foes.

Do not kill them, or my people will forget. Scatter them by Your power, and bring them down, O Lord, our shield.

By the sins of their mouths and the words of their lips, let them be trapped in their pride, in the curses and lies they utter.

Consume them in wrath; consume them till they are no more, so it may be known to the ends of the earth that God rules over Jacob.

Selah They return in the evening, snarling like dogs and prowling around the city.

They scavenge for food, and growl if they are not satisfied.

But I will sing of Your strength and proclaim Your loving devotion in the morning. For You are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble.

To You, O my strength, I sing praises, for You, O God, are my fortress, my God of loving devotion.

Deliver me from my enemies

(1 Samuel 19:1-24)

Deliver me from my enemies, my God. Set me on high from those who rise up against me.

Deliver me from the workers of iniquity. Save me from the bloodthirsty men.

For, behold, they lie in wait for my soul. The mighty gather themselves together against me, not for my disobedience, nor for my sin, LORD.

I have done no wrong, yet they are ready to attack me. Rise up, behold, and help me!

You, LORD God of Armies, the God of Israel, rouse yourself to punish the nations. Show no mercy to the wicked traitors. Selah.

They return at evening, howling like dogs, and prowl around the city.

Behold, they spew with their mouth. Swords are in their lips, “For”, they say, “who hears us?”

But you, LORD, laugh at them. You scoff at all the nations.

Oh, my Strength, I watch for you, for God is my high tower.

My God will go before me with his loving kindness. God will let me look at my enemies in triumph.

Don’t kill them, or my people may forget. Scatter them by your power, and bring them down, Lord our shield.

For the sin of their mouth, and the words of their lips, let them be caught in their pride, for the curses and lies which they utter.

Consume them in wrath. Consume them, and they will be no more. Let them know that God rules in Jacob, to the ends of the earth. Selah.

At evening let them return. Let them howl like a dog, and go around the city.

They shall wander up and down for food, and wait all night if they aren’t satisfied.

But I will sing of your strength. Yes, I will sing aloud of your loving kindness in the morning. For you have been my high tower, a refuge in the day of my distress.

To you, my strength, I will sing praises. For God is my high tower, the God of my mercy.
