## 📜 Scripture Text (NET)
(The NET Bible: New English Translation. Biblical Studies Press, 2005)
#### For the music director, according to the _al-tashcheth_ style; a prayer of David, written when Saul sent men to surround his house and murder him.
[[#Verse 01.]] Deliver me from my enemies, my God.
Protect me from those who attack me.
[[#Verse 02.]] Deliver me from evildoers.
Rescue me from violent men.
[[#Verse 03.]] For look, they wait to ambush me;
powerful men stalk me,
but not because I have rebelled or sinned, O Lord.
[[#Verse 04.]] Though I have done nothing wrong, they are anxious to attack.
Spring into action and help me. Take notice of me.
[[#Verse 05.]] You, O Lord God of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel,
rouse yourself and punish all the nations.
Have no mercy on any treacherous evildoers. (Selah)
[[#Verse 06.]] They return in the evening;
they growl like dogs
and prowl around outside the city.
[[#Verse 07.]] Look, they hurl insults at me
and openly threaten to kill me,
for they say,
“Who hears?”
[[#Verse 08.]] But you, O Lord, laugh in disgust at them;
you taunt all the nations.
[[#Verse 09.]] You are my source of strength. I will wait for you.
For God is my refuge.
[[#Verse 10.]] The God who loves me will help me;
God will enable me to triumph over my enemies.
[[#Verse 11.]] Do not strike them dead suddenly,
because then my people might forget the lesson.
Use your power to make them homeless vagabonds and then bring them down,
O Lord who shields us.
[[#Verse 12.]] They speak sinful words.
So let them be trapped by their own pride
and by the curses and lies they speak.
[[#Verse 13.]] Angrily wipe them out. Wipe them out so they vanish.
Let them know that God rules
over Jacob and to the ends of the earth. (Selah)
[[#Verse 14.]] They return in the evening;
they growl like dogs
and prowl around outside the city.
[[#Verse 15.]] They wander around looking for something to eat;
they refuse to sleep until they are full.
[[#Verse 16.]] As for me, I will sing about your strength;
I will praise your loyal love in the morning.
For you are my refuge
and my place of shelter when I face trouble.
[[#Verse 17.]] You are my source of strength. I will sing praises to you.
For God is my refuge, the God who loves me.
