1For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "Do Not Destroy." A poem by David, when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him. 2Deliver me from the workers of iniquity. 3For, behold, they lie in wait for my soul. 4I have done no wrong, yet they are ready to attack me. 5You, LORD God of Hosts, the God of Israel, 6They return at evening, howling like dogs, 7Behold, they spew with their mouth. 8But you, LORD, laugh at them. 9Oh, my Strength, I watch for you, 10My God will go before me with his loving kindness. 11Do not kill them, or my people may forget. 12For the sin of their mouth, and the words of their lips, 13Consume them in wrath. 14At evening let them return. 15They shall wander up and down for food, 16But I will sing of your strength. 17To you, my strength, I will sing praises.
