1Unto the end, destroy not, for David for an inscription of It title, when Saul sent and watched his house to kill him.
1Do you indeed speak justly, O rulers? Do you judge uprightly, O sons of men?
2Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; and defend me from them that rise up against me.
2No, in your hearts you devise injustice; with your hands you mete out violence on the earth.
3Deliver me from them that work iniquity, and save me from bloody men.
3The wicked are estranged from the womb; the liars go astray from birth.
4For behold they have caught my soul: the mighty have rushed in upon me:
4Their venom is like the venom of a snake, like a cobra that shuts its ears,
5Neither is it my iniquity, nor my sin, O Lord: without iniquity have I run, and directed my steps.
5refusing to hear the tune of the charmer who skillfully weaves his spell.
6Rise up thou to meet me, and behold: even thou, O Lord, the God of hosts, the God of Israel. Attend to visit all the nations: have no mercy on all them that work iniquity.
6O God, shatter their teeth in their mouths; O LORD, tear out the fangs of the lions.
7They shall return at evening, and shall suffer hunger like dogs: and shall go round about the city.
7May they vanish like water that runs off; when they draw the bow, may their arrows be blunted.
8Behold they shall speak with their mouth, and a sword is in their lips: for who, say they, hath heard us?
8Like a slug that dissolves in its slime, like a woman’s stillborn child, may they never see the sun.
9But thou, O Lord, shalt laugh at them: thou shalt bring all the nations to nothing.
9Before your pots can feel the burning thorns— whether green or dry— He will sweep them away.
10I will keep my strength to thee: for thou art my protector:
10The righteous will rejoice when they see they are avenged; they will wash their feet in the blood of the wicked.
11My God, his mercy shall prevent me.
11Then men will say, “There is surely a reward for the righteous! There is surely a God who judges the earth!”
12God shall let me see over my enemies: slay them not, lest at any time my people forget. Scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Lord, my protector:
