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
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
10 The God of my mercy shall prevent me God shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies
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
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
