Deliver me from my enemies

(1 Samuel 19:1-24)
1
Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me.(a) (b) (c)
2
Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men.
3
For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O Lord .
4
They run and prepare themselves without my fault: awake to help me, and behold.(d)
5
Thou therefore, O Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah.
6
They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
7
Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, doth hear?
8
But thou, O Lord , shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision.
9
Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: for God is my defence.(e)
10
The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies.(f)
11
Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield.
12
For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying which they speak.
13
Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be: and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. Selah.
14
And at evening let them return; and let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
15
Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be not satisfied.(g) (h)
16
But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble.
17
Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God is my defence, and the God of my mercy.
