Deliver Me From My Enemies, My God

(1 Samuel 20:1-10)

1{{To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him. }} Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me.

2Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men.

3For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not [for] my transgression, nor [for] my sin, O LORD.

4They run and prepare themselves without [my] fault: awake to help me, and behold.

5Thou therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah.

6They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.

7Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords [are] in their lips: for who, [say they], doth hear?

8But 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.

10The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see [my desire] upon mine enemies.

11Slay 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.

13Consume [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.

14And at evening let them return; [and] let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.

15Let them wander up and down {08675;05128:08799} for meat, and grudge if they be not satisfied.

16But 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.

17Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God [is] my defence, [and] the God of my mercy.
