1 To the chiefe musition, destroy not, a golden psalme of Dauid, when Saul sent, and they did watch the house to kill him. Deliuer me from myne enemies O Lorde: defende me fro them that rise vp against me. Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; protect me from those who rise up against me; For the director of music. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” Of David. A miktam. When Saul had sent men to watch David’s house in order to kill him. Deliver me from my enemies, O God; be my fortress against those who are attacking me.
2 Deliuer me from the workers of iniquitie: and saue me from the blood thirstie men. deliver me from those who work evil, and save me from bloodthirsty men. Deliver me from evildoers and save me from those who are after my blood.
3 For lo, they lye in wayte for my soule: men of power are gathered together against me who haue committed no wickednes nor fault O God. For behold, they lie in wait for my life; fierce men stir up strife against me. For no transgression or sin of mine, O LORD, See how they lie in wait for me! Fierce men conspire against me for no offense or sin of mine, LORD.
4 When no fault is done, they runne and set them selues in order: arise to meete me and beholde. for no fault of mine, they run and make ready. Awake, come to meet me, and see! I have done no wrong, yet they are ready to attack me. Arise to help me; look on my plight!
5 And thou O God Lorde of hoastes, Lorde of Israel: awake to visite all Heathen, and be not mercifull vnto all them that offend of malice. Selah. You, LORD God of hosts, are God of Israel. Rouse yourself to punish all the nations; spare none of those who treacherously plot evil. Selah You, LORD God Almighty, you who are the God of Israel, rouse yourself to punish all the nations; show no mercy to wicked traitors.
6 They go to and from at euening: they barke lyke a dogge, and runne about through the citie. Each evening they come back, howling like dogs and prowling about the city. They return at evening, snarling like dogs, and prowl about the city.
7 Behold they speake with their mouth, swordes are in their lippes: for say they who doth heare vs? There they are, bellowing with their mouths with swords in their lips— for “Who,” they think, “will hear us?” See what they spew from their mouths— the words from their lips are sharp as swords, and they think, “Who can hear us?”
8 But thou O God wylt haue them in derision: thou wylt laugh all Heathen to scorne. But you, O LORD, laugh at them; you hold all the nations in derision. But you laugh at them, LORD; you scoff at all those nations.
9 I wyl reserue his strength for thee: for thou O Lorde art my refuge. O my Strength, I will watch for you, for you, O God, are my fortress. You are my strength, I watch for you; you, God, are my fortress,
10 My mercifull Lord wyll preuent me: the Lord will let me see my desire vpon mine enemies. My God in his steadfast love will meet me; God will let me look in triumph on my enemies. my God on whom I can rely. God will go before me and will let me gloat over those who slander me.
11 Slay them not, lest my people forget it: but in thy stoutnes scatter them like vagaboundes, and put them downe O God our defence. Kill them not, lest my people forget; make them totter by your power and bring them down, O Lord, our shield! But do not kill them, Lord our shield, or my people will forget. In your might uproot them and bring them down.
12 The wordes of their lippes be the sinne of their mouth: O let them be taken in their pryde, for they speake nothing but curses and lies. For the sin of their mouths, the words of their lips, let them be trapped in their pride. For the cursing and lies that they utter, For the sins of their mouths, for the words of their lips, let them be caught in their pride. For the curses and lies they utter,
13 Consume them in thy wrath, consume them that nothing of them remayne: and let them knowe that it is the Lord that ruleth in Iacob, & vnto the endes of the worlde. Selah. consume them in wrath; consume them till they are no more, that they may know that God rules over Jacob to the ends of the earth. Selah consume them in your wrath, consume them till they are no more. Then it will be known to the ends of the earth that God rules over Jacob.
14 And let them gad vp and downe at euening: let them barke lyke a dogge, and go about the citie. Each evening they come back, howling like dogs and prowling about the city. They return at evening, snarling like dogs, and prowl about the city.
15 Let them runne here and there for meate: and go to bed if they be not satisfied. They wander about for food and growl if they do not get their fill. They wander about for food and howl if not satisfied.
16 As for me I wyll sing of thy power, and wyll prayse thy louing kindnes betimes in the morning: for thou hast ben my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble. But I will sing of your strength; I will sing aloud of your steadfast love in the morning. For you have been to me a fortress and a refuge in the day of my distress. But I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love; for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble.
17 Unto thee O my strength will I sing psalmes: for thou O Lorde art my refuge, and my mercyfull Lorde. O my Strength, I will sing praises to you, for you, O God, are my fortress, the God who shows me steadfast love. You are my strength, I sing praise to you; you, God, are my fortress, my God on whom I can rely.
