Deliver me from my enemies, O God.
Protect me from those who rise up against me.
Deliver me from those who work evil.
And save me from bloodthirsty men.
See them lying there and wait for my life.
The fierce men who are joining themselves against me.
For no trespass or sin of mine, O Lord.
For no fault of mine they run to make it ready.
O my strength, I will sing praise to You.
For You, O God, are my fortress.
Yes, my God will lead me in His steadfast love.
Let me look with triumph on my course.
Arouse Yourself, come to my help and see.
Lord God of hosts, God of Israel.
And awake to punish all the nations.
Spare none who make treacherous plans.
Every evening they come howling like wolves.
Prowling about through the city.
There they are, barking with their mouths.
Snarling with their lips who will hear us.
O my strength, I will sing praise to You.
For You, O God, are my fortress.
Yes, my God will lead me in His steadfast love.
Let me look with triumph on my course.
Slay them not, lest my people forget.
Make them totter and fall by Your might, Lord our shield.
For the sin of their mouths, the words of their lips.
Let them be thereby caught in their pride.
For the cursing and the lies which they utter.
Consume them in wrath till they are no more.
The men may know that God rules, or Jacob.
To the ends of the earth say, La.
O my strength, I will sing praise to You.
For You, O God, are my fortress.
Yes, my God will lead me in His steadfast love.
Let me look with triumph on my course.
Every evening they come howling like wolves.
Growling about through the city.
They roam about scavenging for food.
They growl when they don't get their fill.
But I will sing of Your might, O Lord.
And of Your steadfast love in the morning.
For You have banned a fortress to me.
And a refuge in the day of my distress.
O my strength, I will sing praise to You.
For You, O God, are my fortress.
Yes, my God will lead me in His steadfast love.
Let me look with triumph on my course.
